    My mum never had a wedding dress. my cheap arse dad draged her off to the registry office in sydney & then they had lunch at the cafe that was in Grace bros at the time & then they caught the train home.
    My grandmother wore a suit so no dress there either!

    I will keep mine forever but its not a big flash wedding gown so I'm not sure if Isla would be interested when her time comes. Its more a medievil style of dress.

    The only time I could fit into my mum's wedding dress was when i was around 14 and in year 9....we had to do mock weddings as part of a class and I got to be the bride!! LOL!! So I wore mum's neck to floor straight white dress with see through long sleeves. I even used her feather wedding flowers!!!! (which I have kept coz she was going to throw them away - I don't know if she still has her dress)

    So with the style there was no way I would've worn her dress.....but I did wear my nanna's garter, she just stitched silky blue material over the top! My dress was simple, still meringue skirt but no train and slightly off the shoulder,basic beading up top.....will never get rid of it as I'm too much of a sentimental fuddy duddy!! But my sister did wear my veil when she got married - I'm keeping that too!! Hehe!! (still have my flowers which I dried as well! LOL!! - yep. Am definitely a sentimental hoarder!! LOL!!)

    Oh and don't know if I'll ever be able to fit into it again but I'm also keeping my lacey corset with matching stockings that clip on......am a TAD bigger now than the skinny minny fresh faced innocent bride of over 8yrs ago!!!
