    Wear it. I was just at a Salvation Army yesterday where there was a RACK of about 35 wedding dresses, dating from the 40's to the present day. It was a big old crash course in the fact that at the end of the day it's just a dress. Also, pics please. Also- you have NO figure flaws, sister.

    It's very obvious that this dress is about you and not your ex. Wear it. Also, I'd like to one-hundredth the call for pictures.

    Sadie, It sounds like the special dress will soon be imbued with new joyful memories. Wear it.


    P.S.: The wives of Henry VIII wore the fine dresses of their tragic predecessors, as they were extremely valuable= comeback if anyone gives you shit about what you're doing.

    Having gotten into a large argument with my future mother-in-law this weekend on the subject of wedding dresses, and having absolutely no freakin' clue what I *am* going to wear in a few months, my first thought was: "You already have a dress? Less pressure!"

    Also, the fact that you can still wear a custom-made dress from six years ago...


    I am envious. I have not stayed the same size for more than 2 years since...well, since ever.

    The dress I want for my wedding is very, VERY specific, its the only thing I can EVER see myself getting married in. Luckily I don't think anything is going to make me need to carry it over.

    @Crabby Cakes wants some Dance Biscuits.: As I posted above, I suffer from a similar addiction. It's ok! At least you might get married -- I'm already married and madly in love and hope to god I'm never divorced. But the appeal of heavy silk satin and fine lace and silk tulle and rustling skirts and . . .

    Check out bridepower.com; in their Mega markdowns section they have $4K dresses on sale for $400. Madness!

    When I first saw the tag, I thought "yes it's tacky!" and then I thought it was a Modern Love post, but having now read the story it is clear that you can not get married in anything else. This was a great post Sadie. Good luck with the wedding and the marriage!

    I adore the wedding dress from Funny Face! Wear it! Especially because it makes you so happy.

    Wear it for sure but just be coy about its origins when discussing it with the in-laws if you feel self-conscious.

    It's not tacky in any way.

    You would be laughed off any current wedding reality show for being an utter bore, Sadie. Have you seen those people???


    The object of your affection sounds pretty groovy as well, so Wearing The Dress gets at least one vote from me, if not like, ten. Mazel Tov!

    I got married in a dress I bought four years earlier to marry someone else. And it was no big deal. Really.
