i scored a free dress off Craigslist many years ago. I'm a long sleeve, high neck fan, this was short sleeved and not high neck. The woman who got married in it married then moved away and left it with a friend to eventually get rid of. It was a long-ish veil and dress and wasn't washed so it went from newly minted bride to closet to me! It was such a thrill knowing that it was last worn by a female who married in it (and who knows what else later that night). I had a pro makeover done in it as well as another wedding dress that I love looking at pics of. The weight of the material, the layers the look, the feel on my pantyhosed legs....awesome experience. I got rid of the dress and heels I bought for it a few years ago, taking up space...
