Is everyone keeping the wedding dress or will you sell it?

On that same note,  ballpark figure,  how much did it cost to get it drycleaned?

I get married July 27/08 and am considering not keeping it since it will just take up space and someone could use it.

I plan on selling it. I'm getting married in August. I was going to keep it and make my future children's christening gowns out of it, but I decided selling it would be a better option since I'll need the money

Married to the PERFECT MAN.... for me!

I'm a 2 dress bride and already sold my 1st dress and plan to sell the second (actual dress I wore).

It cost me nearly $250 to dryclean.

I'm probably going to sell mine after my at home reception next weekend. I got mine dry cleaned for $150.00 and it came out perfect and thats after I trashed my dress!

Hell no!!!!  Will definitely keep my dress. I can't imagine parting with it for any reason.  I still pull out my mom's wedding dress, maybe once a year (mom passed away) and the thought of her having worn that dress on the most important day of her life, means so much to me. I guess both Sentimental reasons and selfish reasons.
