I wanted to sell my wedding dress the month after my wedding. I didn have any attachment to my gown and I didn think it mattered if I kept it. Plus, I was excited at the idea of making a few extra bucks after all the wedding expenses. My new husband wouldn let me sell it though. Being the sentimental one in our family, he mentioned wanting to save it for our daughter one day.
What girl has actually worn her mother wedding dress? It like when you in a wedding and the bride promises that you get to wear the dress to so many other events because it just so versatile! That hardly ever true. I only been in a few weddings, but most of the dresses have been too bridesmaidsy to wear anywhere else. It never matters though because it not the point.
Anyway, now, four years after my wedding, I finally have a beautiful, healthy daughter. Am I happy that I saved that gorgeous dress for her? Nope. I still regret not selling it.

My friend has a beautiful clutch made out of her mom wedding dress. I love that idea, but if Alessandra is anything like me, she be too lazy to find someone to make one for her.
For now, the dress lives in the same closet where I grew up stashing my Pretty, Pretty Princess set, all my Fraggle Rock stuffed animals, and my Cabbage Patch kids. I hope that my gown will one day again see light, even if it in the form of a teenage year Halloween costume where my daughter makes fun of mom silly 2009 style and dresses up as a retro bride. Until then, my wedding dress remains simply another item stored in a box.

I could wear my moms wedding dress when I was 10 so there was no hope I was ever going to wear it. She was only 5 feet 90lbs when she got married and I was 5 130lbs on my wedding day. Factor in the difference in breast size and that dress would of barely made it over my hips.

The lady that did the alterations on my dress was going to have it cleaned for me as she was a friend of the family and she felt bad that the bustle fell and it got so dirty. She never got it cleaned and after a year or so my mom picked it up. It sits in her closet at their house doing nothing.
I doubt my daughter will wear it as she is very tall already and looking to toward over me as I did my mom, my husband is 6 She is at 4 taller than I was at 5, so there is no hope.
No sure what to do with it. I am not someone that is attached to objects but selling it seems wrong for some reason. If it burned in a fire I would not shed a tear over it traditional chinese wedding dress but taking it and throwing it in the trash would be impossible.
My SIL wore her mother wedding dress. It was beautiful. I wanted to wear my mother dress, but hers burned down in a fire at her mother house (where she kept it after her wedding). So, don automatically assume that your daughter won want it. I know my sister wouldn have wanted to wear my mom dress, but I am the same body type and my mom dress was really beautiful, so I would totally have worn it. Not to mention it would saved me some money. I love the dress I picked and will definitely save it for my daughter but it not a traditional dress.
I didn really like my mom Probably for the best, as she was 6 months pregnant with me when they got married! lol Besides, she didn keep it, and my parents divorced acrimoniously when I was 22 anyway. I wanted to wear my great grandma but even at 110lbs, the silk dress was just too small. I did wear her petticoat under my dress tho:) I still have hers. Mine was made for me by a friend, for our Renstyle wedding, and I would wear it every day if I could get away with it! It boxed up, waiting for a perfect time for one of my 4 daughters or me to play dress up:) 15 years later, I still love it. Of course, 15 years later, I more in love with my husband than ever, so maybe that has something to do with it:)
In my first wedding, cheap dresses online shopping I wore my aunt wedding gown because I just didn have the money to buy my own, and I liked the idea of a handmedown tradition. However, it was NOT my style at all, and what I learned is that wearing a wedding dress that isn feels a lot like wearing a very expensive Halloween costume.

The dress from my second wedding is hanging in my closet. I not usually a packrat and I have no expectation of my daughter ever wearing it, but I can stand the thought of getting rid of it.
Here my terrible confession: I spent my career working in museums. I know how to archive and preserve textiles, and yet, my dress is hanging in my closet? I know better.
Like most of the women here I loved my wedding dress but what was I going to do with it now that the wedding was over? I have no illusions that my daughter will want to wear it when she gets married and although, both my sisters and I used my mom dress to play dressup in as kids, I not sure that I want to do that either. I bought a proper gown and spent a fortune, then we eloped. So my rehearsal dinner dress became my wedding dress. My wedding gown, veil, and matching jacket are sitting upstairs in the garment bag they arrived in. There nowhere here I could get it preserved so it sits waiting. Were probably moving soon though and I take it with me and have it preserved wherever we end up.
I wanted to sell or donate it but my husband won let me. He wants me to save it. He told me he wants to renew our vows in the future and I can wear it then. After saying something so sweet and romantic I had to keep it.
It was never altered and I glad. Cause if I keep my awesome nursing boobs it won need any work, lol!
