What did you do with your wedding dress?
I have no desire to keep my dress as a sentimental keepsake. I never had it cleaned after the wedding and it's been in the dress bag which is stuffed in a plastic tote in my closet for the better part of 2 years. I pretty sure selling it would not be an option at this point. If I remember correctly there are footprints on the train and blue frosting inside the bust area. I'm not sure that would come out 2 years later.
Would you consign it? Take it to Goodwill? Donate it to charity? What did you do with your dress?

Re: What did you do with your wedding dress?
Tossed it in a bag and gave it to Goodwill.
I sold mine on ebay within a month of the wedding.
It depends on whether or not you want to "try" and clean it (to sell it). I would either just donate it, or wash it gently in the bathtub with woolite, you can use a soft toothbrush on delicate/problem areas or just give it away. You can also give it to your photographer (if you had one). Photogs love dresses for TTD sessions or if they are doing "fake" wedding shots. Stuff like that.
Hard to believe its been 2 years,huh?
It feels like a lifetime ago. I need to finally decide what to do with my aisle runner too. It's staying for sure, I'm just not sure where. I was thinking about framing the end and hanging it somewhere.
Mine is in the bag in my mom's closet. It's never been cleaned so I really need to get around to that. I've thought of donating it but I just can't do it. My mom still had her wedding dress and although none of us planned to wear it, all 3 of us girls really enjoyed being able to pull it out and try it on, etc. I'm also not opposed to my future daughters (if I have any) cutting it up. I guess I'd rather just give them the option, but I'm a sentimental sap.
I had a panel sewn into my dress with my birth name and birth date, and then my married name and wedding date so if I did sell it or donate it I would absolutely remove that first.
That's a good idea, thanks!
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?

I did some research and I really like this organization if you'd like to donate it:

You'd have to ship it, but you could do that pretty cheaply I'd imagine.
Just a thought!
Thanks! I listed it on Craigslist but I'm not sure it will sell. If I decide to donate this is a great option.
It's still hanging in my closet. I haven't had it cleaned but I think I want to do that and have it preserved. I don't know why but I'm really sentimental about it.
