Oops, wrong board... I'm sorry, this is my first time posting!! Sorry bees!!
I don't believe in any of the superstitions so what I hear you saying is "free dress that I love!" and you can't go wrong with that in my opinion
If she is 100% okay with that...I don't really see any issues. :) I mean, it's basically a dress that's never been worn for free.
Not weird at all! She never wore it, you love it! Maybe the dress was meant for you!
@emmyntube: No? Why would it be weird? Remember, she didnt even wear the dress and its not like fabric holds some divorcing curse. Id jump at the chance for a free dress that I love.
Why not? Free dress that you love and never got used. I'd take it! I would only hesitate if she had in fact used it to get married to her now-ex husband. But she didn't, so I'd snap it up in a heartbeat!
@missnapabride- my thoughts exactly! maybe this was how i was meant to have my wedding dress... :) thanks everyone I feel better! I may still go try on dresses though.. just because i want the dress shopping experience to go with my wedding planning! Hee hee!
I'm sure your sister would love for someone she cares about to get some use out of a beautiful dress she never got to wear - so I also say go for it. :-)
@ameliabedelia No pics and I can't find it anywhere online, i believe it's a discontinued one, is there a website that has discontinued Maggie dresses? The dress is still at her house so my BF doesn't see it so I have no idea what model it is... :(
@emmyntube: Be careful shopping after already choosing to go with a dress - notice all the dress regret threads around here, lol. Not saying don't do it, just something to be aware of maybe!
@emmyntube: "she constantly says "i don't know why I kept that thing."" She kept it because somewhere she subconciously knew it was yours. If it wasn't meant to be, she would not have felt the need to hold on to it for so long.
yeah, i have noticed quite a few Dress regret posts... maybe the bridesmaid dress shopping will indulge my dress shopping needs! :)
I think its fine. Wedding dress shopping is overrated.. If someoen had a free dress that I could wear that fit I would totally wear it :D
What an awesome opportunity :) If you have a good relationship with your sister and she is prefectly happy with you wearing it, I say go for it ! Its an awesome story to tell later too :) And a nice bond between you 2 :)
Heck yes take the free dress! I might not say that if she had worn it, but since she didn't, it would be silly not to since you like it!
I say wear it! It is free, you love it, and why spend money for the same dress that she hasn't worn? Doesn't make sense :)
I also second @AmeliaBedelia: when she says to be careful of dress regret. I had to stop watching Say Yes to the Dress and parusing dress threads because I keep seeing something bigger and badder!
My aunt wore my mom's dress for her wedding after my mom had already worn it for her own! So I think it's perfectk fine to wear an unworn dress. :)
I don't think it's wrong. I think it'd be a little weird if she remarries later and choses to wear a dress bought for another wedding, in that case she will never wear it, might as well give the poor dress a chance. Granted she offered it to you, I'd just ask her if she's 100% sure about this.
EXACT same situation for me. My sister was planning her wedding, my mom bought her a gorgeous dress, and my sis ended up eloping so the dress was never worn. I got engaged in December and I asked her if I could wear it, and she cried! She, my mother, and my grandmother couldn't be happier that I want to wear the dress.
I'm now a little sad that I won't have a dress shopping experience, so I've decided to buy a reception dress and wear my sister's dress to the ceremony.

So, my sister, a few years ago, had planned to have a wedding to her now ex-husband. Instead of having the wedding they ran off and eloped. She had already bought her dress, a beautiful Maggie gown that I fell in love with! They were divorced a few years later and she kept the dress for this long. When I mentioned that my BF may soon become my FI (HOPEFULLY!!! FINGER'S CROSSED!!!) she offered to give me her dress. Of course I tried it on and fell even more in love with it, it's absolutely everything I wanted in a wedding dress, and even better, it's FREE!!!! So, I guess my question is, is it weird if I choose to wear her dress? She never wore it and has sat in her closet for years and she constantly says "i don't know why I kept that thing."
