Its been a couple of months since I posted my frustration and sadness about my sister losing my wedding dress. Long story short, my sister took my wedding dress without my knowledge while I was on my honeymoon to be sent out for the cleaning and preservation. She filled out the address wrong and my dress was sent out to wherever. I tried calling the gown preservation place to see where it was sent or what we can do and filed a claim with UPS. Unfortunately, my dress is just gone. They were unable to retrieve it from the address it was sent to and the claim is still open. I am still trying to get over it, its just a dress but its hard.
What I was debating is buying another one. It was a dress from David's Bridal and it isn't super expensive. I was thinking of purchasing the same dress to have it and keep it like I would have my original dress for memories/future purposes/sentimental reasons. But I would feel like it wouldn't be the same. It's a popular dress now so I don't see it getting discontinued soon but I want to decide before it could be.
What would you do? Would you purchase a new one or just let it go forever?
