anyone sell your dress and regret it?

hollybee92 · October 2010

I am dead set on selling my dress afterwards and just began to get second thoughts. I would love to have an experienced opinion...

I donated mine to Brides Against Breast Cancer, no regrets. What would I do, wear it again?

If you think you would regret it, though maybe you should reconsider. There are lots of options for a wedding dress.

I will not sell my dress for a few reasons:
1) I really just love it!
2) I think it is nice enough that my daughter ( which I don't have right now) or my stepdaughters ( which I do have two) might want to consider wearing.
3) I have a hard time letting go of anything ( I Have clutter all over) so forget about selling a wedding dress!

I was married this past NYE, and just sold my dress last month for about half of what I paid for it. Because our wedding was indoors at a hotel during the winter, our actual wedding photos were ok, but nothing to write home about. In August, my H and I had a photo shoot with the both of us in our wedding day attire (dress, hair, tux, flowers, etc) and we got the pretty, outdoor shots that I had wanted. Once I had those, I was ready to part with my DB dress.

I want to use my dress to make a christening gown for my kids (which we will hopefully have).

I don't think I will regret it, but just had the thought. Thanks girls!

This! I am not selling mine nor did I ever think of it. I had it preserved and plan on keeping it for the above purpose or maybe even a future daughter could wear it.

My Mom still has my Grandma's (and it is in good condition) wedding gown from the 1940's and I think that is pretty neat. I would have worn it but it was ivory and I wanted white and it had sleeves, which I did not want.

I was married on Sept 2 - the photographers had a grand idea to "trash the dress". I said, seriously, why do that when I can sell it, make a little money back. I told this story to my boss's wife and she recommended I have my dress altered to a cocktail dress. Holy cow - what a great idea. I loved my dress and now I look forward to meeting with the gal that did my alterations to have my dress made short. I thought I would sell my dress too, but I am so excited to have it forever, AND be able to wear it.

I had always thought I would sell my dress after the wedding . . that was until I actually found "the one"! Now I can't imagine selling it after the wedding. Even though I have no idea what I will do with it I can't imagine selling it to someone else. I will likely have it preserved after the wedding and keep it just in case a daughter would want to wear it or just in case I want it for something else.
