It has a chiffon overlay that got snagged and I doubt it can be easily repaired, so I have held off on doing anything with it.

My plan is for my mom to make christening gowns for my kids out of it. I figured it would be cheaper to get the pieces of fabric cleaned as I need them rather than the whole thing at once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress#post-261754 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:44:43 +0000 katieckam 261754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rosie Girl: what a great idea for a photo shoot with your daughter in your wedding dress! If I have a daughter (#2?) I will try to remember to do this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress#post-261747 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:40:15 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 261747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rosie Girl: aw cute!!! I think I'll do that too.<br /> I still have it, it's cleaned and in my closet. I think it's too big now :) (got married 4 years ago) I did try to sell it last year, no bites. Maybe I should try it again... I could get 500$ for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress#post-261739 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:37:51 +0000 bpcmarj 261739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rosie Girl: Ah, I saw that on pinterest once, too!
