I have thought about doing that so often! OH thinks I should keep it?!? I wouldn't even know how much to list it at!

I know people like to keep their wedding dresses but I often wonder if, perish the thought, couples split up and divorce, anyone would want to get married a second time wearing the same dress.

Unless it's a style that can be worn for other occasions, like Aesop's, or can be remodelled to be, I think it's lovely to think of another bride having a dream of a day wearing it. Just my view, we're all different:)

In days gone by brides hung onto their dress so it could be passed down to any future daughter for her wedding . This happened to someone who I was a bridesmaid for in the early 60s. Showing my age now, but I was only a child at the time;). From what I recall the bride hated it and, being a lot different in size to her mother, she had to have a lot of alterations done to it before it even fit:eek:

Just joined a new site. It is like freepostcodelottery but uses phone numbers. you don't need to add yours as they allocate random numbers to you but you get more points for adding yours.

the t and c are very good and tight, promise no spamming.

What about making something new out of it?

I knew somebody who decided (after a few years) to use hers for halloween :rotfl: she covered it in fake blood and dressed as a corpse/zombie (I think) bride!
She said it was already covered in red wine stains so didn't matter :rotfl:

I have no idea what I will do with mine once I've worn it

I ummed and arred for so long but we recently had our 10th anniversary and I just thought it's been stuck in the loft for 10 years so why on Earth would I want it to be stuck there another 10. It isnt the type of style I could wear again as a 'normal' dress and it's a shame for it to get wasted. MumstheWord**I just thought... what price would I be gutted at it selling for... then added some on and went for that. I have some listing fees to pay off with the money so am only counting actual profit. So although the dress went for £150 I'm taking off everything going out. Aesop will prob remember from years back but I like to do this challenge in actual cash if I can. So where I'm aiming for £600- thats how much actual cash I want at the end.

Very greedy like that xx

A few years ago I used my Mums for the same purpose! Theyve been married 30 odd years and I dyed it black and went as a corpse bride. Thats why I thought I'd sell mine instead of my daughter taking the scissors to it in 20 years LOL. :rotfl: x
