Should I or should I not sell my wedding dress??

I would sell it. I just rented mine though. I look back to the pictures and other little keepsakes for memories. A dress is just a big item to store. Yu wouldn't want to renew your vows in the exact same dress anyways. I'd list it on craigslist. Thay way if someone buys it you don't have to ship it or wait for payment. They can just pick it up.

This is my thoughts on selling the wedding dress, and I'm coming from many years (60) and having many, many friends with daughters over the years. I have never, ever, met one daughter who ever wanted to wear their Mother's wedding dress, even tho the Mom kept it for all those years thinking 'they might want to wear it.' I saved my own wedding gown with those thoughts in mind, and even though it was kept nicely, it was 1. out of style, 2. not either of the girls sizes and 3. they both wanted their own special dress of their own for their day. So, coming from that place, I think it's kind of pointless to hang onto a wedding dress that will stay in a box wrapped forever lol.

I know lots of gals who think they might want to wear their original wedding gowns for their 25 or 50th anniversary, or repeating the nuptuals, but hey, out of all the women I've known, I've only ever known one person who ever fit into their dress again, (and it still had to be altered.) Personally, I wish I would have sold it after the wedding and gotten at least some return on what was spent on it. After all, I DO have the pictures to remember it by!

As for how to go about selling it? I would take it to a bridal shop that sells gently used wedding gowns. At least they would give you a fair price. Their price would actually be lower than what it would sell for, so if you sell it on your own you could ask for a lot more than their offer for it. If you did it on eBay, you could then set a minimum bid and still get more than you expected for it. Good luck.

Honestly, it is up to you. I still have my prom dresses. Yes, I have my junior and my senior prom dresses, and I cannot seem to let them go.

I would sell it if I needed money and space. I would take lots of good pictures of the pretty details and sell it. I have lost so many nice things trying to hang on to them. I wish I would have sold them to good homes instead.
I would probably just list it in CraigsList for a reasonable price, noting that the price is negotiable. That is if I didn't need the money right away. If I needed money I'd list it on ebay with a reserve price.
You could always try a Consignment shop.

I'm still keeping my wedding dress, as my mom advised me to keep it. She told me keeping the wedding dress insinuate a smooth marital relationship. I was widowed 12 years later however, still I'm keeping it, though a cousin borrowed it for her daughter's wedding but demanded her to return it back to me. For 30 years am still keeping it, but wait, it might be the reason why until now I was not remarried (lol). It's alright, anyway I'm 53 already and I don't have the plan of marrying again. If I were you, I won't sold my wedding dress. That's a part of your wedding souvenirs.

Im not yet married but if i am in the future. I will never ever sell my wedding dress. What im gonna do is to put it back to box and keep it. You know, its gonna be nice after many many years of marriage and being together. You gonna reminisce your special day.

dear friend,
to my concern u should not sell ur wedding dress . because wedding is the occassion that happens once in our life time, and more over u have mentioned that u got married 18 months before so ur not that much old after marriage . they are the things that to be taken care and maintained with high priority ... it is a sign of rememberance ...

hello
I think that you should sell the dress, I mean are you planning to get married again. I think alot of women keep there dress just to savor the memories honey that is what pictures are for. Another reason is they may want to pass down the dress to their daughter or daughter in law, not to be mean but half the time they don't want it. I say sell it because let some have the same great memories in the dress as you do pass it down that way.

hello,

I think that you should sell the dress, I mean unless you plan on getting married again and want to use the same dress then by all means have fun. but i think you should sell it so that another women can share the same great memories you did in that dress

see this is totally your own decission whether you want to sell it or want to keep it for ever, because wedding dress is a memmory which will never come again if you think in that way then keep it with you so when ever you miss your married day then you can check that dress again but if yu do not want to keep these memory and want changes in your life always you can sell it and can buy a new one so that you will be wearing the new dress
