what did you do with your dress after???

Did you sell it (if yes, where?) Did you donate it? Did you preserve it? Or is it just sitting in your closet?

Just curious what the majority does. thanks!

My sisters gown was at my dad's house in his closet since her 2006 wedding.. She JUST picked it up last year!

I'm thinking I am going to hold on to it. I was kind of upset that my mom no longer has her wedding gown because I think it could have been fun to at least try it on to see how much the styles have changed over the years. It would have too much sentimental value to me to sell it.

Right now its in the basement of my mom's house in it's bag. I guess I gotta do something with it.

I plan to preserve it and possibly use the lace to make a christening gown for my kids when the time comes.

It is hanging on the outside of my mom's downstairs hall closet. She refuses to put it away and I have to look at it everytime I go there and feel sad that I will never wear it again.
If I have a daughter one day, she is going to wear that dress on her wedding day...I don't care if she hates it!

I washed the dress and its in a vacuum storage bag right now. I plan on doing a day after shoot so after we do that I will wash it again and save it to make something for our kids.

I'm keeping mine, I plan on using some part of it for my 1st childs baptism outfit... and I wouldn't mind my daughter (if I have one) or nieces playing dress up with it when they're older.
my mother did that with hers, I fit into it when I was 12. we're both really tiny..

My sister had a baby girl about 10 months ago and when she was looking for christening dresses she found out that a lot of women use their wedding gowns to create the dress. I think it adds a nice sentimental value to the christening gown.
