What do I do with my wedding dress.. I dont want/need it

Seriously
Don't know why I bothered getting it cleaned and boxed except it makes it easier to store

$1500 and the hassels I really dont want it.

Any ideas
Rather not just give it to a charity (although I do that a lot with my stuff) because it cost me so much money!

You could either sell it on ebay or bring it to a consignment shop.

I have heard of many people making a bassinet skirt for their baby from it.

Or you could give it to a dressmaker to have it made into a cristening or communion dress, if you're Catholic......

You could donate it to charity.

Here is one option
Brides Against Breast Cancer

Sorry, I totally missed your note about not giving it to charity. You can have it made into something else but that is going to cost a lot b/c you have to have it cleaned first and then pay someone to alter it. But if you are willing to spend the money, you could turn it into a cocktail dress, quilt, christining gown, table runner, etc..

I think that I read that if you donate it you can write off the value on your taxes as a charitable donation...
