how to get rid of unwanted crinoline?
« on: August 15, 2006, 04:04:16 PM »
We got married in March, and I have my crinoline I need to sell. I've been to the wedding shops in my town but no one wants a used crinoline ('we have a *factory* we order from' - yikes!). Any ideas of how to get rid of it, short of ebay?

To be honest- no.  :-\\\\ Sorry.

Many women I know of just sell it with the dress. There is a very strong "Everything new" idea running through the bridal industry.

If you can sell it, it would be very cheap- $15/£15 or so, so it may not be worth your while. Good luck either way.  :)

Let's take our wigs off in the shopi aisle and fight it out.

pants.

Thanks for the response, though. I'm not bothered if it's not worth much, as I bought it on ebay. But now ebay hardly seems worthwhile, as you said. At the time, there seemed like a good market in second-hand ones. I thought about car boots, but it's a bit specialised isn't it?

My only purpose of keeping it is to randomly wear it around the house in the eveing, but that seems  a bit silly...  ;D

I have the same problem, it's a bit sad really, I know mine costed around $50 new at least and I only wore it for the day. Oh well  ::)

I guess we just don't have the sentimental attachment to them we do our wedding dresses :P

If I can keep it long enough, it might be great dress-up clothes if we have a daughter...

If you harbour bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

Mine's too big (puffy) so I'm leaving it here in the states. Maybe I'll use it for something one day, but not right now  ::)
