Jessy made an Instructable for using embroidery hoops to frame photographs. Since it involves piercing the photo, she scanned the originals and printed out new ones on photo paper.

Amandasays:
Why not use transfer paper and put the photo onto the embroidery fabric? Then maybe use some embroidery to highlight parts of the fabric on the dress?
CJsays:
Instead of piercing the photo, one could embroider a triangular pocket in each corner, much like paper photo corners. You’d still want to avoid using an original, though b/c the fabric isn’t pH neutral and it’ll be exposed to light, etc.
