Good bye, wedding dress
I did it. I donated my dress to Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation. I was a little sad and teared up as I walked out of David's Bridal (I had them ship it) but I'm so glad that my dress is going to do something good for someone else and possibly save a life. Not to mention, some other bride will look beautiful in it an have a wonderful wedding day.

Just call me "Brothel"
And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

I bought my dress from them, and plan on donating it back once I get it cleaned. I think it's a great organization.
[QUOTE]hey! More info? Did it have to be cleaned before you donated? Will DB ship it for free? I have no idea what to do with my dress, but I know I have no need for it ever again.

No, didn't clean it. They ask for a $40 processing fee for every dress, and part of that goes to cleaning and for transportation of dresses to events. <a href="http://www.makingmemories.org" rel="nofollow">www.makingmemories.org</a>
DH didn't ship for free, but they were cheaper than what UPS would have been ($15)

Will do. Although I don't think it's put me over the standard deduction.

Donating clothes makes me happy, because I think about all the good times I had in that shirt/skirt/pants and it makes me glad that someone else will have that, too. Did I mention I'm a sap?
i don't think I could do it. i'm too sentimental. I'm having mine made into a christening gown, bonnet, and blanket.

[QUOTE]Thats super sweet of you to do. I'm kinda like Anna though- sentimental.. I've always loved the idea of the christening gown from the dress.

Me too. And it's sort of the same in a way. You're recycling the dress into something else instead of just having it hanging in the closet for years.
