Utah seamstress creates angel gowns for grieving families

In Provo, Utah, Analane Powell repurposes wedding dresses into burial clothing for grieving families who have lost infants. The emotional and logistical struggles faced by such families often leave them overwhelmed, especially since finding appropriately sized burial clothing can be challenging. With a personal connection to infant loss, Powell was inspired to create these garments, which range from 6 to 20 inches in size. Her phase of turning wedding dresses into 'angel gowns' is not only a tribute to her late brother but also a labor of love meant to provide comfort. Powell hopes that her efforts will assure families that they are not alone in their grief and that they will eventually find peace.
