I have mine and my mum's wedding dress stored away safely
t
I asked my daughter if she would like them to be used to make something for the twins
She advised me to donate the dresses to a charity called little angels
This charity want the dresses to make shrouds for still born babies
I can't do it so when I have gone I will leave it to the twins to decide
What would you do?

I would donate it to another charity if you're not comfortable with Little Angels. I'm still hanging on to my dress. I don't know why. Have a good day.

@Gilljane That’s right and you do what you feel is right.

I tried to donate my wedding dress, but nobody would take it! Lol
You should donate your dress as requested.

Wedding dresses cannot be used for mourning events. That can't be called auspicious.

I donated mine 2 years after my wedding. I didn't see the need to continue keeping it

For some it feels like an honor of the dress owner. I still have my dress, except for the sleeves which my mom did in Irish crochet. We added those to my daughter's wedding dress.

You have to do what feels right. I got rid of mine when I got divorced

The shroud think gave me the chills. Painful memories of stillborn baby, I think I would keep for the twins,

There are a few places here that people donate wedding dresses, tuxedos, bridesmaid dresses, prom dresses...the idea that those who would not have had a dress or proper attire can possibly get items. They charge $10 for a weekend of using the item .The money goes for the store rent and utilities. The workers are all volunteers. Maybe you have something similar nearby? They offer a lot for a nominal fee so that girls can dress for their occasion.

I don't know what I would do. That's kind of a hard decision to make
