I had always planned to keep mine. I guess I have that dream of a daughter considering it for her wedding when the time comes! Roll Eyes

I have worn it twice since the wedding though, for two different photo shoots. The first one I got in the water at the beach and had it dry cleaned. The Second it didn't get dirty, so it is now hanging at mums, in a mould free home!

Mine is taking up far to much space in my wardrobe at the moment, but I can't bring myself to sell it and don't think I ever will. So there it will stay!

I've already done a TTD with it, but my friends and I talk about one day doing a photoshoot with us all in our dresses so im hoping to wear it for that. I want to get as much use out of it as I can!

Eventually I assume if I have a daughter she will be able to dress up in it and I would like to keep the veil nice if she wants to use it.

Reply #48 - Aug 10^th, 2011, 11:48pm Mine has been drycleaned and is now taking up room at my in-laws house. No idea what to do with it...there really should be more occasions in life where it's appropriate to wear a wedding dress.

Mine is still filthy after the wedding and I have hung it at a friends place until I can be bothered forking out $200+ to get it dry cleaned - the plan is to then sell it. I imagine that will be easier said than done though!

It's a bit of a burden really. It takes us so much room and there's no space for it at our house. I feel a bit bad leaving it at my mates place (I had actually forgotten about it until she mentioned it the other day! Oops!).
Luckily she has 4 massive wardrobes at her house and doesn't mind. It's something I need to get on to though.

There needs to be an easier way to pass on/get rid of wedding dresses!

Reply #50 - Sep 13^th, 2011, 10:29am I handwashed mine (following instructions from a thread on here!) and it is hanging at my mum's house. She has lots of room, and I have no room in my house to hang it. I intend to leave it there for as long as possible Agree with Hayhay, wish there were more occasions to wear it!
