I'm thinking of selling my wedding dress...
Am I bad?  LOL I love it so much...but I think I rather have the money.
I can revisit my dress by looking at pics or video.
I'm undecided really...What to do?

I couldn't bring myself to do that-- even though I could probably get decent money for it.

Re: I'm thinking of selling my wedding dress...
I would definitely sell it. I have no use for mine. It's been sitting in a closet for over a year.

Re: I'm thinking of selling my wedding dress...
Nope, not bad at all. The decision is totally yours. My friend is selling hers right now and she's fine with it. I'm not sure if I could do it, I'm too much of a sap. Although, I just got married, see me in a year or so, I might feel otherwise

Re: I'm thinking of selling my wedding dress...
I donated mine a while back -- I would never where it or have any use for it again. I didn't think I would get too much if I tried to sell it so I got a tax write off.

Re: I'm thinking of selling my wedding dress...
IM probably going to sell mine soon too. I know I'll never wear it again and I doubt my DD will wear it when she gets married either.

Re: I'm thinking of selling my wedding dress...
I'm actually planning on donating mine.
Vinny wanted to kill me when I said that.
He thinks that I should keep it forever but I just think someone in need could use a really nice, designer gown... I feel like they deserve to be able to wear that- you know? To feel like a princess even though they might not be able to afford a gown.
Don't get me wrong- Vin is not a cold hearted monster lol he just thinks that b/c it's my wedding gown it's sentimental and special- I can see his point, I just don't know.

My DH is the same way. He sees it like that was the beginning of our new life together and we should keep it.
I wouldn't sell mine because I probably wouldn't make any money on it. It was decently expensive, but the resale value on wedding gowns is very low. If anything, I would donate it too.

Re: I'm thinking of selling my wedding dress...
I plan on making mine a christening gown that both a baby boy or girl could wear.
My dress has a very plain skirt - just lots of plain white silk satin, so I feel like it'll make a beautiful christening outfit. I'd love for my future children to be clothed in the same fabric I was, on the very same altar.

The Bridal Garden/Sheltering Arms - this page has info about making a donation.

Mine has been sitting in a box in a closet for over 13 years! I will probably never get rid of it.

Re: I'm thinking of selling my wedding dress...
I actually had an offer to buy my dress right after my wedding  but I said no and have no regrets. Even though it sits in my closet I can't part with it. I'd like to know I have it around.
BUT it's a personal choice...so do what you your comfortable with. There is no right or wrong decision...as long as you have no regrets.

Re: I'm thinking of selling my wedding dress...
I understand selling because I'll never wear it again, but somehow I can't and I'm not a super sappy person. I just want to keep it as part of my memories.

Re: I'm thinking of selling my wedding dress...
Not bad at all. I put mine up on ebay shortly after the wedding but didn't get my reserve. I wasn't ready to part with it unless I was going to get a certain amount of money with it. At some point I am pretty sure I will sell it.

I am toying with this idea too but I just can't bring myself to part with it I don't think.

My MIL has already offerrred to make it
for me.

Re: I'm thinking of selling my wedding dress...
I don't know if I could sell it either but turning it into a Christening outfit is a possibility... its still dirty though!

I was thinking of doing this, too. With the train. BUT, the christening outfit that my brother and I were christened in is still hanging around. In fact, nrthshgrl christened my niece and nephew in it, so I think I'll use that instead. I was also considering using the train to put a trim around the bassinet.
Edited for missing words and just typing plain stupid.
