Decluttering my wedding gown

click to enlarge

Many years ago, when it became clear our daughter was going to grow way too tall to ever wear my wedding gown, I donated it to a church run second-hand store.

The store manager thought it was way too good to simply add it to inventory.

So she took a photo of it and posted it on the store’s bulletin board.

A young woman admired the photo. The store manager offered to take her home to try it on.

It fit perfectly and it was the right season for it. (Long skirt, long sleeve, white velvet material.)

Everyone went home happy.

Wasn’t that much better than leaving it in a box in storage until it turned yellow?

TTYL,

Linda

  1. That picture is just wonderful. You are so beautiful. And I’m glad you found someone who would love the dress as much as you.
