On her wedding day last weekend. She got such a bargain on the dress too and did all the alterations herself. She's going to wear it for a year.

While it's her dress and she can do whatever she wants, I think it's a complete waste.  There are organizations that will gladly accept wedding gowns.  Many brides would love a gown and cannot afford one.

 

There are organization that take gowns and use the material for Communion dresses and even burial gowns for infants. It was only after I read about these organizations that I thought to use the train on my wedding gown to make a dress for our 1 year old granddaughter to be buried in.

@lulu1  My SIL used her wedding gown to make a Baptismal dress for her baby. The baby only lived a few minutes ,so she buried him in it

 

It brought her a great deal of comfort, to know her child had something of her ,to be buried in. It is such a painful thing to lose a baby, I am so sorry  this happened to your family

@lulu1 I'm so sad for you at the loss of your baby granddaughter. My younger GD died at age 10. I so feel for you. Heart

After the year maybe she will donate it. She did buy it in a charity shop in England, she lives there.

I like that she is enjoying her dress for more than one day.

 

I don't really understand posts that seem to imply that she is somehow being selfish for not donating it or repurposing it.

I'm reminded of what I frequently hear on QVC ... no matter what article of clothing  they are selling ...

 

You can dress it up .... You can dress it down.  

 

Dollars per wear ... dollars per wear ... dollars per wear.

Re: How To Get Your Money's Worth From A Wedding Dress

This is a JOKE.    Do you know how much it costs to dry clean a wedding dress?    That definitely would NOT be "getting your money's worth"....
