it's preserved, in a box, in closet. fortunately, we have the room in this house.
the style/fabric wouldn't really do as a christening gown, so i didn't. and if my daughter is anything like me, i doubt she'll want anything to do with my dress. but, i'll keep it on the off chance.
my mom actually wore HER mom's dress for her wedding. i tried it on, but it was too short and had yellowed (a lot) with time. if it had fit, i'd have worn it. so, i'll keep mine around until my daughter decides to get ride of it. when i'm dead.

Ummm... Dumpster. It was taking up a lot of closet room. I only wore it for the ceremony too. Switched into a short dress for the reception. That made it to goodwill. I still have my sparkly shoes!

I don't know. My mom said something about selling it, but I think she might have lost it. Or maybe she gave it away? LOL, it only cost me $120, so I'm not too worked up. I don't think there's too many girls out there jumping all over themselves to wear a used white bridesmaid dress.

If you are going to donate it, do it promptly. By the time I thought to donate it five years after I got married, they weren't accepting my dresses that old.

I still have it. I was going to have some fun pictures taken in it because our wedding pictures sucked. That is obviously not going to happen now...I guess I'm going to just sit on it (not literately) for a while and make a descision when it's not so emotional.

Mine is in a plastic tote bin in the back of our storage unit. I have no real attachment to it so I think when we move it will probably get tossed out because it's damaged. It was cheap, white, and it fit but I really didn't like it :/

Mine is literally in a garbage bag on DD's closet floor. It needs to be cleaned but I'm lazy. I'm not sentimental about clothing, including my dress, especially since I have so many great pictures of me wearing it. I'd actually like to donate it, but that will be a venture for another time.
