If I missed someone, I am sorry, and I really appreciate all of the suggestions. They ranged from a good quality dry cleaners, specifically one with experience in wedding gowns, trying the acetone on a small, hidden, section of the gown, using super glue remover, using fabric or lace pieces that have a family history to cover the glue, to doing nothing. Two fabric conservator sites had no idea what to do, and 1 site still has not answered. I am still debating and torn over how to restore the gown. One reader suggested if I "kill" the sister-in-law, to hide the body very well. I think if I could get a jury of genealogists, I could get off on justifiable homicide. Again, thank you for all of your help. Judy Brown
