Should I sell or preserve my Maggie Sottero wedding gown?

My dry cleaner wants to know if I should pick it up cleaned or preserved.. I CANT decide.
Anyone have any good ideas as to where I can sell my gown other then ebay?
I love it , but I'll never wear it again, it will collect dust in a box. Any ideas?

Can I ask why not ebay? I think it's a good place, IMO.
What about an ad in the times or something? I don't really know. I don't know your religion obviously, but I've heard of girls having Christening suits made out of their dress. Personally, though, I would keep it.

I heard that some people who saved their gowns then used them to make Christening outfits for their babies and Communion dresses for their little girls.

I bought my gown from the Bridal Garden in New York City which accepts donated gowns. The proceeds from sales benefits Sheltering Arms. Here is the link to their website:
