I consigned mine with one of my best friends who owns a bridal consignment store in Atlanta.

I didn't sell mine b/c it's my mom's wedding dress! I don't have a daughter and may never have a daughter, but I certainly couldn't bring myself to selling my mom's wedding dress

I sold mine for a little more than half that we paid for it. I figured it would take up space and knowing my luck, I wouldn't have a DD to enjoy it anyway. My 1st is due on the 15th of Jan and its a boy.
I did keep the veil. I have no regrets.

No, I still have mine. I'm not usually the type to keep stuff I'll never use again and I had totally planned on selling it, but when it came time to I just couldn't lol.

Thank you for all of your replies! I appreciate hearing all of the different points of view. I think I will try listing it on a local classified site and then maybe look into donating it.

@Torchwood: my mom boxed mine up right after the wedding too! I was bummed. I had wanted to try it on again.

Mine's sitting in my parents house. It wasn't super expensive and it's a little known Canadian brand so there's not much of a resell market for it, although I did get a few inquiries if I'd be willing to sell it when I posted pictures on WB, but it seemed like a hassle. So I'll just hang onto it.
I have a daughter now, so maybe she'll want to use parts of it or reconfigure it for her own wedding.

@NurseMommy: I've pinned this inspiration pic too! I'd love to do that someday!
I thought about selling it, but my sister convinced me to keep it. Even said she wanted to wear it. But of course that didn't happen. I did pay a ridiculous amount to have it cleaned/boxed and preserved. So it's just sitting under the guest bed.

No I kept it and wanted to sew baby girls baptism gown out of my wedding gown but didn't have time to execute the plan. I will probably end up selling it soon.

I cut mine up!
I still have the top in my memory chest
The train was made into a Christmas tree skirt
A piece of the dress was made into a blanket used at my kids baptism.
