Wedding dresses - to keep or not?

A friend borrowed mine the year after I was married back in 1971, my daughter adapted it 15 years ago and I used the offcuts in a family quilt and stuck a piece with a photo in our Family Tree album.
Our GD now wants to have it but she is about 6 inches taller than we are so I don’t think it will work for her.
I bought it for £64.00 ( paid weekly) from John Lewis in 1970 and they kept it until it was paid for. I think we've had our moneys worth!
I think it will soon be back in our loft. Seems a shame to bin it as It’s still in excellent condition.

Still got mine somewhere. I haven't seen it in years, and now I'm a dress size larger!

I cut mine down for the dressing up box at my daughters' playgroup. The children used to fight over it, including some of the boys! smile

After 48 years of marriage I have finally decided to get rid of my wedding dress to the charity shop. It has been stored in the suit case where I store my out-of-season clothes and every time I change them over - like now - there is my poor, screwed up dress. I suddenly decided why keep it? My daughters don't want it that's for sure, so out it is going.
What have others done with theirs?
