I have my mom's wedding dress... it was too tiny for me to fit in or I'd have worn it. Other than that, I don't know what to do with it. I don't have her any more, and those things are impossible to know what to do with.

I do hear that vintage clothing especially wedding dresses, do have a market that collects them. The yellowing is probably not even a problem, it can be cleaned, or sold as is, and they'll clean it.

Check with local costume shops and community theaters . . . they might want Mom's dress.

One of the neatest things I saw done with a wedding dress was at my aunts 50th anniversary. One of her granddaughters wore it that day for show. I thought that was cool. My dress isn't a very fancy one but it was nice. I'm thinking it can continue to hang at the back of the closet:)
