There are a number of websites that specialise in the resale of bridal gowns. Wedding dresses can be an extremely costly part of a wedding which is why we suggest that if you don’t want the hassle of storing yours, you should sell it to a store or online and donate the funds to a charity close to your heart. Companies like The Empty Box Company even use acid-free cardboard boxes for you to store it in. We would suggest you have it professionally cleaned and packaged before you put it into a storage closet to avoid the garment being damaged. Whether you’re handing it down to your daughter, granddaughter or your niece, they are sure to be grateful that you kept them in mind. Even if they don’t like the style, they will always have the option to repurpose it to fit their own personal taste. These dresses are then sent to hospitals all over Ireland and each dress can provide around 12 gowns.įashion trends change from year to year but there is something so kind and thoughtful about keeping your wedding dress and passing it on as a vintage piece to the next generation.
