Would you sell your dress?

I'm taking a break from homework and started looking through the other boards. I can't believe how many wedding dresses are for sale on the trash to treasure board. Maybe I'm a sentimental idiot, but I just got mine back from the cleaners last week, and I can't imagine selling it.

I'm another sentimental fool...DH is even worse though-he didn't want me to even wear my shoes again

I also do not plan on selling my dress.  If DH and I have children I would like the opportunity to pass it down to my daughter if she wanted it.

I'd never be able to sell mine either.  I haven't even taken it to the cleaners yet though. I need to do that.  lol

I don't think I could sell mine...unless something happened you know wouldn't want to hang on to then. I haven't done anything with it yet it's just hanging around in the spare room closet taking up space, I cant bring myself to pay more then I paid for the dang dress to have boxed up at the cleaner though.

When I took it to be cleaned, the woman kept pushing the keepsake box (another $40 over the $95 cleaning fee). I told her I'd like to try it on at each anniversary to see how I don't fit in it, no box necessary. It's the prettiest dress I've ever owned, I waited too damn long to own it - let alone walk down the aisle in it - and unless something extreme happens and the d word occurs, I plan to keep it.

I could sell mine (emotionally) - I know I'm never going to use it again, and if we have a daughter she'll probably have her own style, or would be a different size or shape. But I'd be annoyed at how much less I'd get for it than I paid - I don't want to sell it for ~$200 when I paid around $1000 for it!

I might keep it for a daughter to play dress-up in though!

This is me, mine is still filthy in a closet.

I am actually planning on selling mine.  I wasnt in love with it and I think that if someone else can get use out it I would rather that than have it sitting in my closet.

That being said its just hanging on the door to my closet, still filthy..lol

Oh good I don't feel so bad now. But I'm in the same boat. Although I do debate donating it to the breast cancer charity.

yeah, mine is still dirty in the closet too.  I've been trying to sell it, and I figure if someone is willing to spend that much on it (that I'm offering) then I'll sell it.  Since that's so unlikely, it's probably mine forever.  :P

 

I love the idea of my little girl (or boy for that matter) playing dress up in it someday.

Like pp mine is in the closet and still needs to be cleaner. DH wants me to get rid of it because he hates clutter. I bought it used (at Antique Fair) at a fantastic price (150). So if they had not been willing to sell I would not have had such a beautiful dress. I would love to loan it to someone I know who would want to wear it.

This, though mine is likely worth much less.  And, it's still dirty in the closet.

I'm late on this one, but mine is still hanging dirty in the closet too.

I briefly thought about selling it and even posted it on CL and got a decent offer, but Jason got really upset about it and said I should keep it and that it would be disrespectful to my Dad (who paid for my dress) if I sold it...so I'll keep it.  I am glad he didn't let me sell it though because I tried it on a couple months ago and it was so fun to relive that 'bride' feeling.  I think I'll always hold on it, even if it remains hanging in a closet for the rest of my life.  It's a generic Davids Bridal dress, but it's 'my' dress.

I totally would!  I'm agree with Kenna.  I'm never going to wear it again, and I am sure my future daughters will want their own dress.  Sitting in a closet is of no benefit.  Unfortunately, mine was drastically altered so it wouldn't bring much $.
