i think i'm actually worse than everyone..... i cant believe i'm admitting this but........

mine is rolled up in a big plastic bag in the trunk of my car!!!
(ummm i guess i just keep forgetting to take it out?!)

Well, you only got married two weeks ago. If it's still in there in a month or two, you TOTALLY win!!!

Me too. I'm with Jola, I want to have a Wear It Again party with all you girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll come up from Delaware for that!!!!!

Mine is in our closet. We have a double closet and I am running out of room b/c it is hanging there with all the crinoline and it is huge. I really have to get that done.

This August will be 3 years since we got married and it's still hanging in my mom's closet not cleaned. Cleaning it would cost more than my dress itself. I can't afford that!

Mine is on the back of the door in my old bedroom, along with my moms. She looked into getting
cleaned, but wanted to compare prices.

Well mine is cleaned, but not because I'm better than any of ya I would have let it sit there forever if it were up to me!

The ONLY reason my gown was cleaned is because my Mom couldn't stand the dirty sight of it anymore hanging in her spare bedroom (I had nowhere to put it in our apartment where our cat wouldn't claw it to pieces)..

So my dear Mom had it cleaned and preserved .. wouldn't even let me pay her back (yes she has her good moments ) And then she wanted no part of it herself!!

Since the box is just too bulky to store anywhere, its now taking up temporary residence in my MILs attic now.. yes that dress has made the rounds

Mine is currently hanging on the wall in our dining room area. It had been on a closet door, then it annoyed DH so he put a nail in the wall and it hangs there, in the bag.

I'm waiting to put it on one more time before I get cleaned.

Actually, it's hanging in the room I am in, our office.

nov04LIbride (Beth) was over a few weekends agao and she came up to the office with me to look at something and she said it was kinda freaky how my dress was hanging, I have it hanging on the trim outside the closet.

She's right, it is kinda freaky.

LOL it's freaky because it is hanging on a thing outside the closet that looks like a body! Like, it is filled out and everything! Mine is under a bed in my mom's place.

Yay - Glad I'm not the only one guilty of this!!! Mine is also still hanging in my closet - almost a year now! It's mostly financial though - preserving wedding dresses is so expensive!!! I figure once I've paid off my huge credit card wedding debt, then maybe I'll get my dress cleaned. In the meantime - I'm still paying off the rest of my wedding!!! One of these days I will get done, I'm not in a rush though. And I'm still curious to try it on again too!!

I think that if it didn't cost one hundred fifty million dollars to clean it, I would do it!

Re: Anyones Wedding Gown Still Hanging In The Closet???

MINE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be two years in August

I think I will probably have it made into a Christening outfit for the little one coming

It's hanging in the closet. After the wedding I just felt like I needed to take a break from all things wedding related. We are finally taking care of our photo album, so maybe I'll get the dress cleaned as well.

Not only have I not cleaned it--almost a year later--it's not even hung up. It's laying all over the bed in our spare bedroom. Since I get dressed in there in the morning, I kind of like to look at it.

That's not even the worst though...I paid for and received the shipping materials to have it cleaned by Wedclean months ago and STILL haven't made a move!
