<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 27672, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>Back in 1980s I was in Chinatown NYC and there were a lot of second stores and &quot;antique&quot; shops. I found a wonderful 1920s silk satin wedding gown. The material was so superb and still shiny but had several brown stains. It was 30 bucks, I bought it and my wife tried it on. It fit her to a tee. A week later she wore it to a halloween party. A few weeks later a friend of ours who is a well known mens clothing designer called and wanted to come over. While we were visiting he let us know that he was getting married. Over the shock of that was the next request. He and his bride to be wanted to buy the wedding dress. I asked why in the world would they want the used &quot;rag&quot; and he responded that the cut, material could not be duplicated today. I said it has some rust stains and two missing buttons. he took it to the school where they train dry cleaners. The dress looked fabulous except for the missing buttons. The back had 35 tiny fabric buttons running down. His Mom who sewed found two buttons that size and cut a square inch out of the hem and covered and replaced the buttons. They got married and there were at least 40 clothing designers at the wedding, everyone gushed over the dress. I was so amused.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
