wedding gowns online image
Kourtney H
I want to purchase an Eden Wedding gown online. It is only fitted in the top and then ball gowm on the bottom. I tried on numerous wedding dresses in the store. (not this designer) I wore a 16-18 in everyone. 18 comfortably. I wanted to try this dress on but all the stores that carry this designer only carry sizes 6-12. Wondering if anyone has purchased one of their dresses and how true to size they fit.
Answer
Check your measurements to their size chart:

I found that everywhere except David's Bridal tended to run small compared to "department store sizes". Meaning: if I walk into Macy's, JC Penney, and the like I wear a size 16 dress. In wedding gowns -- including Eden that I was measured for -- I was a 20 or 22 everywhere.
One of my bridesmaids went with an eden dress -- she is a department store size 0 or 2, her Eden dress had to be ordered in a size 6 and it only had to be hemmed, it fit her perfectly everywhere else.

What can I make my wedding gown into?

I don't want to just keep my wedding gown and take up useless space in a closet or attic. I also don't want to pass it on to a daughter, I don't like the idea of that I want to go with her to pick out the perfect dress for herself. Its not in the most perfect condition to be worn again anyhow in some spots. What is something neat I could turn it into that I can pass down?
Answer
There are many places to donate a gown to, some of them give them to brides who because of natural disaster have had their wedding plans ruined. Like when New Orleans was flooded. Charities gave girls prom dresses, and wedding dresses. One of the other answerers gave you some websites.
Sell it online, or at a consignment shop, or through your local newspaper.
A good crafter could do lots of things with it. The best one is to have a Christening gown made with it. Some people make wedding Bible or bridal scrapbook or wedding album covers. Or using it for the background in a scrapbook. Lining a memory box, or for the background of a keepsake shadow box. Covering a Xmas ornament[s] with it. Making a keepsake wedding throw pillow, making doll dresses like Barbie, to sell or to keep the material for your own daughter's doll, or make one special doll and dress for a keepsake. Make the doll itself out of the material, for your own keepsake, or a keepsake for a new baby. Make a heirloom Xmas tree skirt and/or stockings.
Have it made into a patchwork or applique quilt, or use it as part of one.
You might have the gown preserved and keep it intact, and when your daughter marries, take the dress apart and use it to make wedding crafts out of. The flower girl's basket, the card box, a wedding keepsake as above for your daughter, like a handkerchief or the covering for the flower stems of her bouquet. Who knows, maybe hats will be in style at that time for the bride.
It would make a lovely tablecloth for a sweetheart table.
Depending on the material, a wedding sampler can be embroidered on it. and the craft list goes on and on. An evening purse, a purse for a bride to carry some ethnicities do that, the bride carries a purse for people to put cards with money in.
Or just keep it just because. I suppose their is a bride out there who would keep it to use as a Halloween costume at some future date. Others have kept it to wear on an anniversary, if they still can, LOL.
