OT: Wedding Gown - To sell or not?

oh and I regret neither

I don't even usually look up there to see it in the box. And the fact that I'm going to have to dust that box if I move it again? I guess I'm just over it and if it would bring someone else happiness to wear it on their special day, then yay!

I donated mine to the Susan G Koman foundation-they have a big collection each year and then they re-sell them and the money goes to the foundation. I could have sold mine but didn't want to hassel with finding someone, shipping it to them or getting it to them, so I took the tax deduction and felt really good that it was going to a good foundation.

Interesting. I have a second interview with Komen next Tuesday. I'll find out more about it when I'm there.

If you wanted to keep it for the memories, you could have it made into a quilt for your bed.  I am thinking of doing this with mine.

Oh, I'm *way* too down market to have satin on my quilt. I don't even have a duvet cover on my down comforter because I can't keep things clean. Maybe if it had been ivory to start with that could work for me, but I'm not sure.

I would sell it - my great aunt is a "crafter" and used part of mine to make a  craft and gave me part of that.....I'm grateful, but personally  - it didn't mean that much to me at the time i gave it to her.  I was a  10-12 @ the time I got married, and when I gave her the gown, I was a 26-28, so I figured why not?  

Paul, that's very sweet.

I tend to be logical to the point of being robot-like.

here is a thought - if/when you are ready to get rid of it  -unpack it and put it on then have Mickey crawl in it with you:) Debbi has an awsome pic of hers that way - her and jeff both in the dress she wore - just something neat to put with the wedding pics - shrug =
