Trash the dress??

steveandsteph415

So ladies, who did a TTD and what was it like? Did your dress get salvaged after? I want to do one but I am conflicted, I don't like the idea of destroying the dress, I'd rather donate it then destroy it but I also hear that after the shoot if you dry clean the dress is fine.

So did you? are you? show me!!

[QUOTE]I thought the purpose of the TTD was that the dress got trashed...meaning you couldn't use it anymore.  Though, I guess it depends on exactly what you do to it, I would imagine that if it involves sand, water, food fights, or many of the popular TTD options, the dress will be...you know...trashed. Personally, I think it's kind of wasteful.  <strong>I'd rather give my dress to charity, so someone can get some benefit from it, than get ONE photograph....</strong>

You get more than ONE photograph from it! 

And I don't understand how people get so up in arms about TTD....some people keep the dress in a closet for years and never even look at it or use it.  At least I have some amazing pictures for my kids to see!

I did it and I LOVED the pictures...

And I was still able to donate the dress!
