Where is your dress??

Mine came in a few days ago from the dress preservation company. ?It's just sitting in the hallway taking up space and I keep tripping over it. ?I want to keep it, but I don't have anywhere really to store it. ?I'm thinking its gonna have to go in the kitchen pantry. ?Oh, what a fall from glory my dress has taken.

So, 2-3 months post wedding, where is your dress??

Re: Where is your dress??

  • Hanging, dirtily, in my coat closet in zippered bag.  My RTD photog wanted to do another mini-session with me jumping into water with it, but I actually don't want to since the boning's kind of crapped out and barely covers my boobs anymore. :(  I suppose I'll get it cleaned at some point. My hopes of selling it are dunzo, so IF I ever have a kid, I'll make something out of it.

  • Sitting at the cleaner b/c I refuse to pay $150 to get it back since all it's going to do is sit in my closet in a box. I think it's probably going to stay there until I have an extra $150 laying around that I don't need.
  • Hanging in my closet but it faces the door so when I open my closet door...there it is!  I want to have a wedding dress party or something like that for halloween.

    Confession- I've put it on a few times..

  • Hanging in my closet dirty!  I have a rock the dress session on the 19th.  I might get it cleaned then.
  • Got it back from the drycleaners/preservation and its in this huge box, still sitting on the bed in the guest room because we haven't found closet space for it yet.  Luckily no one comes to visit often.

  • Hanging dirty in my closet.
  • In its preservation box, stored at my grandparent's home (which is pet free as opposed to mine) underneath a guest bed.

  • In the trunk of my car. I put it there earlier this week with the intention of finding a place to get it cleaned, but I never did. I have absolutely no idea what to do with it. It was a free dress, and I'll have absolutely no use for it ever again, so what would I be preserving it for?

    Someone please tell me what to do with it. I really don't want to spend the money to preserve it.

    I don't plan on preserving mine, just cleaning it. You could always donate it though...

    chrissy, you should donate it!  If I decide not to keep mine, I was going to look into this:

    Sounds like you just mail them your gown.

    As of right now, my dress is at my parents' house, not cleaned, in a box. 

  • hanging, still dirty, in the closet in the spare bedroom...
  • Stuffed in the bag it came in in our storage room.  Not cleaned.  Not preserved. 

    I really would kinda like to donate it, since I won't use it again, but, at the same time, I kinda wanna put it on for all of our anniversaries.  We'll see....

  • Getting cleaned and preserved. It'll be ready on the 25th, and once I pick it up it'll probably go in a closet on the floor. Our current IKEA bed will be too low for the box to fit under it :( .

  • My dress is at my mom in NY she should be sending it to me when she finds a box.

  • we had my dress cleaned and preserved. it's in a nice box in my closet at my parent's house now. We don't have any extra room for it at our apartment right now since our closets are very inadequate.
  • Cleaned and boxed in one of our spare bedrooms.  I need to find a smaller box for it though, it won't fit in the chest we have for wedding stuff.

    I had it cleaned pretty quick to get rid of the mimosa stain courtesy of gramma and a few other stains I knew it had.  Figured if I spent that much money on the dress, I may as well take care of it.
