My plan is to cut it up and make a christening outfit out of it for my little one.
Then hopefully it will be passed on down the family in years to come.

There's a wedding dress ball in Hull in February I'd love to go to once I'm married! Proceeds go to charity too!

You could save it for your daughter / in law to incorporate into their wedding dress? That's what I hope to do with my nans or mums

Yep I've specifically bought my dress to wear again so it's not too bridal. I do not want to spend loads of money on a beautiful dress for it to go to waste afterwards xx

I had a very small wedding (not my original wedding I wanted) so keeping mine so when we renew our vows in 9 years I'll wear it again to do the bigger wedding I wanted in first place! It will keep me motivated to keep the weight off!!

I'm not married yet, but my wedding dress is pre-owned. I brought it from a bride who wore it to her day and sold it as she didn't want it to go to waste.

My plan for my dress is to keep it for my daughter she's only 11 at the moment but she asked if she could wear it on her wedding day so after our wedding it will be stored away until she has her big day x

That's my plan !! Thought I couldn't spend all that to sit in the wardrobe or in a box .... Afterwards going to my tailor for the ankle length to be cut tea length & be transformed into 1950's outfit .... Will wait 2 years before the cut in case of a masked ball ... : )
Warm wishes ...

I've kept mine. My daughter is 10 in May and she is at a point where she is DEFINITELY NEVER getting married.... Haha. I said that too... So I'll save it. Even if she doesn't wear it to her wedding she could use it as a prom dress or something... Too nice to waste x
