What to do with my dress?

What did everyone do with their wedding dress after the wedding? My mom wants it out of the house and she wants a decision soon. Should I preserve it? And where has people gone for that? Has anyone sold theirs?

Re: What to do with my dress?

I just want to say-
that there's an organization that collects used wedding dresses for really poor brides-
you could always consider that-


AND-

I work with a non profit called W Girls- and we collect ALL dresses (except wedding) (((AHEMMMM Bridesmaid Dresses))))

For girls to use for PROM who otherwise couldn't afford to go-

Re: What to do with my dress?

I think I'm going to get it made into a quilt that I could pass down.

I donated all my bridesmaid dresses for girls to use as prom dresses. I think this is a great thing!
