So many bridesmaid dresses

I have a big custom order for the holidays using old bridesmaid dress. This sweet girl has been in many weddings, equaling an overload of dresses. You know how it goes, you buy a bridesmaid dress for your friend's wedding, hoping that it will be something you can wear again, but deep down you know you won't.  Her idea was to have me make purses out of the dresses to give as presents. I just love this idea! I will post pictures when I finish the bags.
