I'll try selling mine, if I can't..I guess I will keep it in a box forever!

I keep going back and forth on this one. I think I am going to keep it. I never got to see my moms and if I ever have a daughter I would like to at least let her see the dress in person.

I am thinking about making it into a tea length dress for our big cruise next year.

Re: whats everyone doing with...

i love my dress, but i don't feel attached to it at all ... i'll probably be selling it or donating it

trash the dress shoot would be fun though ... i might do that pre-selling / donating

My younger sister and I are 21 years apart. I hoping that maybe one day she will wear it on her big day.

I'm going to keep mine -it's too sentimental to me.

weird you ask cause just the other day my little sister (18) asked if it would be weird if she wore my wedding dress on her wedding day...thought it was cute but knowing her she will def want something diff when it is her time! So I am def keeping mine if not her I have another younger sister.

i always said i would wear my sisters dress... then i looked back at pictures and i was like... YIKES... no thanks lol

My mom broke out hers to show me and of course it wasnt as sentimental to me as the moment was to her... so it was kind of a waste for her to keep it... which is why i decided to sell mine... and as of right now, im happy i did it... i would have loved to wear it again for a vow renewal but it didnt fit me before i shipped it off to its new owner so i highly doubt i'd fit in it in 10 yrs...

Re: whats everyone doing with...

I don't think that I could ever give it away - I'll wear it around the house for a few weeks

Re: whats everyone doing with...

Probably hang on to it.. and see what life brings us in the next 20 years..

My mom had hers - and made it into christening gowns for her grandchildren, which I think is sweet...

Re: whats everyone doing with...

Probably keeping it (though FH THINKS we are selling it)---I ALWAYS used to make my mom bring out her wedding dress to show me, I hope to have a daughter just like me!

Re: whats everyone doing with...

keep it for a while and wait for the day i have the strength to sell it! (just being practical here. the gown is expensive and has serious re-sale capability!)
