To sell my wedding dress

[Auds1967]

Acrimonious divorce.

Do I keep it for DD or sell?
Feel weird whatever I do either way

Sell
Take DD on holiday !

Why would your dd want it?

It's actually more difficult to sell wedding dresses than you might think but I'd give it a go. No reason to keep it.

I sold mine on ebay and got a couple of hundred quid for it. And I got an email from the person who bought it saying she was so pleased as it was the one she wanted, but would never have been able to afford it from new.

Your DD is never going to want your wedding dress LOL!

You can donate it to a charity that makes gowns for still born babies to be photographed in as a momento.

Rationally I know it's highly unlikely DD would want it- I listen to other people's opinions about how it's a shame to sell etc then feel a bit bad...

Sell it and put the money aside in a fund for a wedding dress for DD?

Sold mine, no divorce just didn't want it sitting gathering dust.
Never regretted it once.

Tempted to sell mine (still very happily married). It annoys me as the bag is huge in my wardrobe and I'm sure DD will want her very own dress, not mine. I haven't had it dry cleaned though so need to do that first.

ou could give it to Oxfam, they have some specialist shops, and one of our local ones has a bridal department.

Your DD won't want it, but if you sell it, I agree with Biscuits - put the money in a wedding dress fund for DD if you think she might want one one day.

If it's Hayley Paige designer and the dress is called Decklyn then I'll buy it from you!

Suggestions of selling and putting money into an account to help your DD buy her a dress in future would be most sensible, or donating to charity would be what I would consider doing.

So many people buy second hand wedding dresses?!

Did you wear your mums old wedding dress? (This may obviously not be applicable for any number of reasons!)
I'd get rid.
No way I'd want my mums old dress - so so dated. And not in a 'classic, timeless' sort of way!

Yes, frilly.

I sold mine to an agent and was paid £20 more than I paid for it. I sold it quite soon after I was married though so it was still current.

Loads of my friends got second hand dresses. Means you can then spend less either on the wedding itself or allocate that money elsewhere.

I'd get rid.

Fuck, I'm happily married and would sell mine in a heartbeat if DH wasn't so bloody sentimental

Wouldn't have worn my mum's even if I wasn't 2-3 dress sizes bigger but she made it herself and she and Dad are still happily married.

My dress though- have worn again as i wasn't a specifically wedding dress. If I don't fit into it again after the baby is born within say 2 years, I'll think about it

But in your case, given acrimonious divorce, I'd say sell. How old is DD to ask / not ask her?

I sold mine less than a year after our wedding. It was big and expensive and I didn't see the point in keeping it.

I sold mine 3 weeks after the wedding for more than I paid for it as I'd had some bespoke alterations. I didn't see the point in having it sat in the attic! Kept my tiara & veil for our daughter.

Sell it if you will make some money. Otherwise cut a piece for a handkerchief and save it for her as "something old"

I wore a secondhand wedding dress Frilly! Was bloody lovely and cost a couple of hundred rather than a few thousand...
Was also paid for by some money my grandparents left me in their will specifically for a wedding dress if I got married - was so nice to not have to worry about that cost and feel that they were part of the day

I don't think your daughter will want it. I second the Oxfam idea, they have specialist bridal shops.
