What do you do with your wedding dress from your first marriage?

I remarried last summer and still have my wedding dress from my first marriage. I have been storing it in my daughters closet for quite sometime now. It's not taking up any room and it's not in the way. My husband says it doesn't bother him but I kind of want it out of the house. What do I do?What do you do with your wedding dress from your first marriage?
One or all of your daughters may want to wear it. If it's not in the way, keep it for them.





My mom thought she couldn't have any children, but kept her dress anyway. 15 years after they were married, I came along. Even if I don't get married, I may want to cut it down, dye it and wear it to my prom.





Keep the dress.What do you do with your wedding dress from your first marriage?
If the dress is clean and in good shape (no tears, no stains), then you could find a consignment shop in your area that handles wedding attire. My youngest daughter and I shopped at a local consignment shop that carries wedding dresses last year in preparation for her wedding.





You could use e-bay or Craigslist to sell the dress. Personally, I prefer the consignment shop, because you don't get the calls and emails at your home.





You could donate the dress to a local charity.
If your daughter wants it, keep it for her. Saves you $ for her wedding. If she's not interested, there are charities you can donate it to - or sell it and put the money in savings, into your daughter's future or?





Men usually say exactly what they think. You might want to check out Men are like Waffles, Women are like Spaghetti. :D





Best of luck - don't let fabric ruin your confidence and the peace in your home.
You can find a store that probably takes used dresses like that and hand it over. I am sure there is someplace out there that will take it because there are plenty of women would be willing to pay for a used dressed....well depending on what it looks like. If not and you don't care about it anymore, just throw it away. If it is bothering you that bad, you won't miss it but I would try to find a store that takes used dresses(if there is such a store out there).
Well what do you do with your wedding dress? PERIOD.





I am on my first marriage and don't quite plan on going for round 2 if things were to fail in round 1. But still, I have my dress and don't know what to do with it.





You could always donate it to goodwill ??
Sell it,Burn it,I would get rid of it one way or another,Some people believe it is bad luck to pass the dress on to your daughter if it was part of a marriage that did not work.In the end it is your choice.
Take it to a charity shop now. Your husband says it doesn't bother him, but of course it does really. Why on earth have you hung onto it for so long?
well really leave the past in the past but since you have your daughter to wear it i assume, ask her if she will even wear it and if yes, storage.
Ask your daughter - maybe she would like to have it for her wedding (assuming that the dress is from your and her father's wedding).
Sell it or have something made out of it. Most people have christening gowns made from theirs...maybe there's another alternative?
I threw mine out in the dumpster last weekend :). I had it for 12 years and it was a size 2. I was sick of being reminded how thin I once was and I'm divorced. Pitch dress!
I burned mine in a celebration bonfire.
You could sell it or give it to someone who needs a wedding dress.
sell it on ebay!! people are always looking for nice dresses and especially because we're in a recession! if its in mint condition itl be nabbed up straight away!! gud luck :D
Send it to your ex to store for his next marriage.
I got married naked so none of this would happen. donate it to charity someone can use it.
Keep it for your daughter
I would save it for my daughter.
sell it on craigslist!
I gave mine to Goodwill. It made me feel better...
