Deciding against 'The Dress'

I’ve thought long and hard about whether or not to use the wedding dress in my final piece.  Visually, I love the effect produced by projecting onto the dress but I can’t think of a way of using the dress in this piece that makes sense.

The biggest problem is the ambiguity of meaning and symbolism to different people - while I like this and would like to use it at some other time, it just doesn’t fit with what I am exploring in this piece.  ‘Yearning to breathe free’ is pretty unambiguous and I think that throwing a wedding dress into the mix might just confuse and complicate what I’m trying to achieve this time round.
