    My grandmother modeled hers for Grandpa every year on their anniversary. My mom shoved hers in a closet and it literally fell apart 30 years later.

    I burned mine after my divorce. Actually, I TRIED to burn it. There was so much polyester that it just melted and ruined my Weber grill but still sooooo worth it.

    Lost it in a move at some time, probably. I remember it hanging in the closet for several years after the wedding - but I honestly have no idea what actually happened to it. (There was no divorce, we had 38th anniversary this year. I just have absolutely no idea where it went :)

    I had mine for about 2yrs and then I threw it away. To be honest, it wasnt anything special to me. It wasnt what i wanted to wear and it was just hanging there.

    I made my own dress (1972) and it is still hanging in my wardrobe in a plastic bag. My daughters wouldn't fit into it, so don't know why I am keeping it. Just because. Maybe I can try & see if I can fit into it again now I have lost weight! I also still have my "wedding night" negligee set, have been wearing that since I lost weight :laugh:

    My daughter recently got married, she is going to clean her dress using lux flakes and our bathtub, then might sell on ebay, unless my second daughter would wear it - stunning dress.

    If you aren't scared of cutting it up (don't want it hanging in the closet forever), why not pillows or making into a Christianing gown for your baby? Pinterest it :-)

    It was cleaned & in the box for 23 years. After the divorce I wanted to have a party & burn it in the fire pit but I didn't want the toxins in the air so I just brought it to the curb on garbage night.

    The one from my first wedding is preserved in a special box, probably in storage at my dad's house. I should just give it to charity, since I have no use for it and I don't think my daughter will, either. The one from my second (and final) marriage was boxed up and donated to The Salvation Army. Both were formal gowns, and pretty costly ones.

    I only got married 3 months ago lol (that's me in my wedding dress in my profile pic)

    I'm doing a trash the dress photo shoot before the end of summer (in four months time) I'm hoping I've lost a bit of weight before then.

    After that I will clean it to the best we can and keep it lol It was my design, custom made so very close to my heart lol

    Mine is still hanging in my cedar lined closet. We celebrated our 30th anniversary a few weeks ago. I wish I would have thought to make a christening gown out of it. I think that is awesome!!
