What are you all doing with your dress?
I am super curious to know what you ladies are doing with your dresses now that the big day has come and gone. My poor beautiful dress is hanging in my spare bedroom begging to go to the cleaners. I just haven't found one that I like yet. Odd, I know....but I'm having trouble trusting someone to clean it without destroying it. And it desperately needs cleaning!
Are you selling, cleaning, hanging on to it for someone else, or just forgotten about it?

Re: What are you all doing with your dress?
I tried to get mine cleaned, but the cleaner had it for a week and a half and gave me three different days that it would be finished without ever touching it- So I just brought it back home and haven't found another place yet
As far as what happens after it gets cleaned- I'm torn. I'll never wear it again, so I really don't see the point in hanging on to it. But I'm not ready to let it go yet, either. I imagine I'll keep it for a year or two and then try to sell it

mine is also hanging up in the spare room waiting to be dealt with. it's really REALLY dirty... we did rock the dress pics the next day on the red rocks in Colorado hahaha
i heard about these girls that all get together once a year and hang out in their wedding dresses and drink champagne or something like that, i think that would be SO cool, but i don't have any girlfriends in colorado yet. i'll have to find some haha :-P

Mine is hanging in my closet at my mom's house.. not cleaned yet.
We're going to do a trash the dress session sometime this summer.
Probably cleaned & preserved at some point, but for now it's just hanging in the spare bedroom closet.
I purchased my dress pre-owned and really wanted to pay it forward and sell it, but I'm 5'2" so I had to have it hemmed big time, and I also cut off the train, so I don't think anyone will want it.
I def want to do a rock the dress session, and I'm going to see if I can get H to do it with me so we can get some of the pics we didn't get on the wedding day.
I was also toying with the idea of having it hemmed tea length so I can wear it at the party we are hosting in Philly for family and friends who couldn't make it to MN for the wedding, but I think it'll be too poofy, heh.
Planning Bio! Updated 05.02.12
I guess I'm in the minority but I sold mine! I'm actually going to meet the girl I sold it to this morning. I love my dress and it was beautiful but I'm never going to wear it again so I figured why not sell it to someone else who could love it just as much?
My SIL had her gown cut into a baptism gown but we have a baptism gown on my side of the family that my mother, my sister and I all wore. My babies will be wearing that one.
I'll be cleaning mine once I find a place to do it and then keeping it forever. I'm too sentimental to let it go.
I figure if I have a daughter one day then she might want to cut a piece from it and sew it into her dress as her something old? At least it will be an option if I keep it
