What are you doing with your dress?

I have no idea what to do with my dress! So I want to know what others have done.

Re: What are you doing with your dress?

Mine is at the cleaners to be preserved. It's actually ready and I have to pick it up.

I might try to sell it, but I doubt it will sell so if I can't after a few months, I'll donate it.

Re: What are you doing with your dress?

I had mine preserved. The thought of selling it has crossed my mind a few times. I just dont think it will be worth the effort.

Re: What are you doing with your dress?

Mine is still hanging in my closet, not cleaned yet.
Since I won't have children, I don't know if I want to have it preserved.
My sister's dress is hanging in my closet too, since 1994.
I might have my niece's communion dress made out of my sister's dress.

Re: What are you doing with your dress?

After talking about it with my mom, I have decided to donate it. She bought me the dress and I wanted to clear it with her first.

Re: What are you doing with your dress?

The idea is still to preserve it but ti's still hanging in my closet.

Anyone know a good place to go for preserving either near Forest Hills, Queens or near Farmingville???

Re: What are you doing with your dress?

I hope to pick it up from the cleaners in this lifetime and than I most likely will sell it, not sure yet.

Re: What are you doing with your dress?

I've been lazy with it. Its hanging in the bag on the closet door. For my bridal shower my fgs mother got me a certificate to have it preserved, but I am thinking about donating it as well.

Can you also let me know about any preserving places near Forest Hills just in case I decide to do it?

Re: What are you doing with your dress?

I chose 'Other' because it's probably going to hang in its garment bag in my closet forever!

Re: What are you doing with your dress?

I am definitely keeping it!! I just remember being around 12 years old when me and my sister were trying on my mothers old wedding gown and taking pictures in it. What fun times. I would love to have that with MY future daughters (God willing that i have GIRLS!!)

I'm also the type of girl who will definitely put it on again just for fun. lol. So I definitely cannot part with it. Too many sentimental memories with that gown. I'd be heart broken to part from it.

lol...me too. I checked 'other' bec I haven't done a thing about it...I think I want to get it preserved but one part of me is asking what for?? Then I think about donating it but I don't want to part with it either
