I sent my wedding dress to be cleaned and preserved at J. Scheer after the wedding and just got it back this week. I needed to get it cleaned, but getting it preserved was only $100 more so I figured why not. It took three months for me to get the dress back.

I initially planned on selling my dress after the wedding to justify how much I’d paid for it. But I think the most I could expect for my dress is around $1000 and I love my dress!!! Parting with it seems bittersweet and $1000 hardly seems worth selling it for. If anyone I know - my daughter, niece, cousin, friend… wears it just once it’ll have been worth saving. The only problem is…. the box it’s stored in is ginormous and I live in a small Manhattan apartment.

This is the box they delivered it in. That’s a box of Pocky in the middle so you can tell how big the box is.

Let’s open it up…

They even pack gloves! You’re not supposed to touch the dress with bare hands because the oils on them can stain the dress.

Before I started trying dresses on I never thought that I’d care this much about a wedding dress. Now after all those fittings and getting married in the dress, I don’t want to part with it. Maybe I’ll keep it at my parent’s place.
