I didn't sell mine. It's sitting in a box somewhere, unwashed 3 years later, probably with dried leaves still in the train. Oops.

But I didn't spend very much on it, and doubt I could get anything for it. I plan on keeping it and offering it up to a potential future DIL or granddaughter, if they want to use the lace for part of veil or anything like that.

My aunt made mine, and it's very simple so it rakes up no space. I'm keeping it. I figure my daughter can use it if she wants. Either way, because it's hand made, there isn't much else to do with it.

If mine was big and poofy and took up a lot of space I would be torn, it'd be nice to have as a family heirloom....but, meh. It's also just a dress. I have no idea what you should do!

I didn't sell mine. It's a Vera Wang (one of the ones from David's Bridal) so it has a huge organza bottom and takes up a lot of space, but I just can't sell it! I actually used it as a prop for our newborn photos...we stuffed the organza bottom into a basket and wrapped DD in it (so you can't tell it's a dress, you just see the organza around her). They are some of my favorite shots from the session!

I gave mine to goodwill, after it took space up in my closet for a year. It wasn't super expensive to begin with or I prolly would have sold it

@MrsScottish: I did the same!!

I thought about it, but can't part with it...especially since now I know I'll have DD!

Mine is still at my parents' house. I don't think I could part with it!

I didn't sell mine. In fact, after I lost some weight post-partum, I tried it on! I was happy I could still fit in it I always wanted to have a party, ala Friends, with all of my friends wearing their dresses and drinking, lol.

I debated selling mine, but it's a dress I've never seen on anyone else, so not sure if it would sell, or how much I'd get for it. Aaaaaand, I kinda really want to do this later on (from Pinterest). Get a pic of my daughter in it and give it to her on her wedding day.

No, it wasn't fancy or expensive, so it's not worth selling. I have zero expectations of a future daughter wearing it, but it would be fun for dress up.

I wouldn't sell it unless you need the money until you've given it some time. You never know what you might regret getting rid of, and you can always sell it later.

I left mine at my mom's, since we moved 1100 miles away and I saw no reason to take it right away. She decided to surprise me by paying for one of those services that cleans it and preserves it and puts it in a display box. Unfortunately I wanted to do what @NurseMommy posted, so I was actually pretty upset. She paid way too much for it (and I've read some exposes on them that show how not all companies do what they claim, but since opening the box invalidates any guarantees, you can't know), and she has NO money. So now I feel like I can't open it and do what I wanted once we have kids without hurting her feelings, but I really did not want it preserved like that at all.

I think she might have been trying to keep me from doing a trash the dress thing, since I mentioned in passing once that I thought they were neat, and she absolutely refused to believe me afterwards that I had no interest in doing that.

Not yet!

I did! I don't regret it either. Looking at the photos and video is far more important to me than keeping the dress.

I didn't sell mine, but it's stored at my parents. I also hated it. It was made for me by a seamstress by measurements in my home city while I lived across the country. I tried it on 5 days before the wedding and it was awful. Had to have emergency alterations to make it wearable so, I really don't care what happens. Although it was lace that I really liked...maybe I'll salvage that!

I say if you want to sell it, then sell it!

I want to sell mine; I've just been too lazy and haven't done so yet!

My wedding dress was a very fitted mermaid, so even if LO wanted to wear it (huge IF to begin with), she would really have to be almost the same height/weight/body type I was....meh, I'd rather let someone else enjoy it!

I didn't sell mine bc it wasn't expensive so it wouldn't be worth much.

@NurseMommy: I would love to do something like that!

i sold mine. i bought it with the intention to sell as it was out of budget and i didn't want price to limit too much my choice. i was sad to see it go, but have no regrets and was happy when i got the money for it. I also have no space for it and would have constantly feared my cats having fun with it.

Mine's still in my closet. I tried posting on WB for a hot second, no bites, so I didn't pay to post on a wedding sale website.

I'll def do a daughter in dress photo shoot if I have a dd in the future

Mine is a lace sheath, so it takes up no space. I will eventually frame it.

I could never sell mine. Not even because of the emotional wedding aspect of it, but because my dad bought it for me and he died unexpectedly 5 months before the wedding. It's the last thing he purchased me and I would never be able to sell it.
