How to dye your wedding dress
After my divorce, I had this dress in my wardrobe that fitted me perfectly but that I couldn’t wear, and that I couldn’t bring myself to give away. In some ways, I felt like this dress was stopping me from moving on with my life. So I decided to reclaim my wedding dress.
Moving past The Dress: Let’s ask different questions of engaged couples

Use the “trash bag method” to keep your dress clean en route
Remember Ruby and James’ laid-back wedding? One of our favorite parts of this wedding was the ingenious (and hilarious) re-purposing of one of our favorite tips — using a trash bag to help you pee in your big ol’ wedding dress.

After five days passed and I still hadn’t tried on the dress, it became evident that I was afraid to try on the dress again. I was afraid that I would put on the dress and would see it in the harsh light of reality, proving that I had made a massive mistake. It wasn’t so much the fact that the dress cost nearly quadruple the price of the other dresses I’d looked at that made the possibility of the mistake so scary. It was the idea that I had let myself be manipulated into making that mistake by the Wedding Industrial Complex.
