Mine's in my Mom's closet. I think it's going to stay there - the marriage didn't work out so well! It's way too 70's for my 3 girls' taste, and my boys probably won't use it BUT, making a Grandbaby christening dress...it's a Gunne Sax cotton voile Edwardian...hm...maybe when I have that extra time?

I made mine. It cost $7.00. I threw it out when the marriage ended. Seemed like a good idea at the time...

Mine is in a box in my wardrobe. Miss almost 15 tried it on a few weeks ago and looked beautiful!

I made mine. It's crunched into a ball in a garbage bag, stuffed in the attic.

Mine is at my Mom's house. I let my cousin wear it for her wedding. I still think its a beautiful dress... just doesn't have much meaning after my divorce.

Mine is hanging in my closet. Every now and again, when I open the closet door, I look at it and smile. I have no idea what to do with the thing. I feel like I should do something with it (it did cost quite a bit!), but don't know what to do. It's so gorgeous I'm afraid to cut it up. It's got a modern style - so maybe my future daughter (assuming I have one) will like it...

Then again in 20-25 years, this could be quite outdated!

I had saved mine for my daughter, but it went up with the rest of the stuff when our house burned when she was a junior in high school. She doesn't want a white dress anyway, of course I could have tea dyed it if it had survived.

Mine is stored in the attic which is insulated. It is a princess style that is still being made even though I got married 20 years ago. Very pretty ivory silk taffeta. I hope my daughter will want to wear it. My mom couldn't find hers when I got married. I couldn't have worn it anyway. She weighed 95lbs and I weighed 130. Can't let something out that much!
