    So I don't wanna sell it, but I also don't wanna keep it.

    My dress was plain white with no beading etc anywhere, - wondering if i could maybe cut the skirt off and use it for something?

    Any ideas?

    Do you girls think it's daft? The dress only cost me £50 and to have it dry cleaned would cost about £80!

    You could donate it to Oxfam or another charity shop to help out a great cause and a bride in need

    Fab - Thanks Hails!! xx

    Samantha - I bought it from Cancer Research and would love to give it back to them but I'd feel wrong as it's a bit grubby from the day and I couldnt afford to dry clean it before giving it in :o(

    If you're thinking of having a family, maybe use the skirt to make a baby quilt for the crib? My auntie is knitting us a baby blanket (started it the day after we got married! and we're not thinking about getting pregnant for another year yet) but you get the idea :-)

    Im defo liking the quilt idea for a baby quilt - will it look odd the squares will all be white though?

    Hey ladies,
    As Hails bumped the 'Things to do with your dress after your married' thread, I'm going to close this one now, so please continue your discussions on there - thanks! x
