I even put it on the other day! 😆

A size 6?! Not sure I’ve been that since I was about 16!
I was around an 8 when we got married so it only fits on a good day 😉

After 4 weeks in Florida I wouldn’t even try, it would be too depressing!
I’ve put on 8 lbs 😬

I don't think I was a size 6 when I was born.

I keep telling my son his metabolism will slow down!
He’s a human dustbin
He doesn’t believe me though

I have to be so careful now. I managed to put on 3 stone somehow but it’s gone and I chucked away all the bigger clothes so I won’t be tempted to eat my way back into them!
I do love food... urgh, now I’m hungry

I've been married 12 years at the end of the month and still have my dress. It's currently in a suitcase,that we no longer use and I keep saying I would like to get a proper bridal box for it but have just never got round to it. I will also admit to trying it on every now and then to see if it still fits 😆

I did exactly that, and as it was a ball dress style, told them they could dye it if they wanted.

This has meant I have been bringing all sorts back home. I have been as harsh as possible and got rid of loads of items both at mums and at home that I would class as sentimental.
Now to the wedding dress. I have been married nearly 13 years and feel like it is a sentimental item however I have loads of pics of me in it(obviously) I'm 99% sure I will ever fit in it again and it is massive. I'm just not sure I see the point in keeping it but feel a massive guilt in getting rid of something that feels so important. What would you do or have you done with your wedding dress?
Thanks in advance.

They make burial gowns for stillborn babies

I have bits of mine in a box in the loft.
I used my wedding dress to make my daughters christening dress.

If I didn't have children I would have donated it to a charity/hospital that makes dresses for babies that are no longer with us
