So my wedding didn't happen. Long story short he called it off, said he didn't love me and we split a month before the wedding.
Its been half a year now and the dust and drama has settled, but I'm left with a dress that I have no idea what to do with. We left it in the Bridal Shop for consignment but it didn't sell, so now I'm looking at donating it or trying to sell it online.
Obviously the suggestions I've found online suggesting keeping it for children, making it into christening gowns and other such fun crafts just doesn't work for me.
Its not that I have anything personal against the gown but its obviously a reminder of a part of my life that doesn't exist any more. Its gorgeous, but I picked it out for him and me, and when I actually get married I want to be able to pick a gown out for that new 'him and I.'
Location wise I am around Vancouver BC, so if I'm going to donate it I'd like to stay more local. I'm going to check the dress to see if the alterations have left room for further alterations for a different bride, etc.
If you have any suggestions or advice on where to donate, how to sell online, or other I would really, really appreciate it!
Thank you all so much, I really did enjoy the community on here prior to the wedding, and look forward to planning one again!
