    I used my mothers wedding dress when I got married. We have been married 35 years & the dress is in the cedar chest again. It is now 62 years old.

    I still have mine. It is n a box all folded up. My Mom had it preserved after my big day. I believe it will still fit as I was heaver when I got married 40 years ago.

    I still have mine and it's been hanging in a garment bag for almost 43 years. I couldn't fit in mine if I tried! I weighted about 115 @ the time I got married! :wink: :-D :wink:

    Still have mine in a box after 24 years. I would love to have my 4 daughters wear it, but they have tried it on and doesn't fit. My second choice would be to make it into a baptismal gown. Just haven't gotten the nerve to do it yet. Maybe some day. With my mom's help, I had cross-stitched our ring bearer's pillow.

    I still have my wedding dress and veil and also the topper from my wedding cake. They are 54 years old and are still in very good condition.
