Are you selling your dress after the wedding? If you already did - did you regret it?

[JayKay]

I'm currently pondering what I will do with my dress after.  I probably will end up selling it. 

 

I had a good giggle over the curtain idea!!

I am ALL for silver curtains....maybe in the guest room of the new house!

As your dress, the curtains would be dynamic as well.

Well I swore that I was going to sell my dress after the wedding, in fact, it's the way I even committed to buying my dress.  I ended up with a couture dress that was almost triple my budget and I tried for 8 months to find another dress and when I couldn't, I decided that I would buy this dress and then sell it to recoup some of the cost.  The dress is still in my closet, still full of sand from my wedding almost 4 years ago and I can't even think about parting with it.  I didn't think I was a sentimental person, but apparently, I'm attached to my dress.  I'm pregnant with my first child now and my mom mentioned perhaps using the dress to make a christening outfit or sash or something and the thought of ruining it made me so sad.  I think I might have to keep it for myself.  Like I said, I'm not very sentimental when it comes to material possessions, I don't keep many mementos, but I'm thinking I will have to keep my wedding dress.

 

After reading some of the other comments, I think it's just a personal decision and there can be no wrong one.  I don't think I've heard of anyone selling their dress and regretting it though.

I never thought about having jewelry made out of my dress. I keep getting new ideas every thread I read. Thanks for all the amazing ideas!

Yes! It's definitely another great option! Another idea is to save any scraps that might otherwise be discarded during alterations and utilizing those materials. I'll be designing a piece out of Coconoir's sash as she mentioned after her trash the dress, so even the accessories can be repurposed!
