Wedding dress's fate after the wedding?

BarMyers1111

I'm considering the cardinal sin of selling my wedding dress now that my wedding has passed. When I admit this out loud, my comment is often greeted by gasps of surprise and horror and the dire warning that I will regret this decision one day.
For all of the brides and wives out there, what did you do with your wedding dress? For anyone who sold their dress, was the decision eventually regretted? I have other momentos saved from the wedding day and it's not my nature to save something so large that I'll never wear and wouldn't expect my hypothetical children to want to wear. Any suggestions for other uses for the dress are welcome too. Thank you!

My sister paid for my dress as my wedding gift and she paid for the preservation service already. I avoided the cash register while she paid because I did not want to know how much it cost. I would have loved to do a trash the dress photo shoot at the waterfalls near my FI home. Oh well. I may do something with the dress down the road.

A christening gown is what I'm planning on doing with mine. Although, the tree skirt and christmas stockings is a very good idea as well.

I second keeping the dress to make into a christening gown for my future kids. That's what I plan on doing after my wedding. I'm sentimental though, and I keep little souvenirs from everything.
