She Agreed To Store Her Best Friend’s $3,000 Wedding Gown After Their Engagement Was Called Off, But It’s Now Been Five Months, And She Doesn’t Want The Dress To Keep Taking Up Space In Her Home Anymore
This woman’s best friend was supposed to tie the knot about a month ago. But, before that could happen, her friend’s fiancé decided that he no longer wanted to get married.
So, the wedding was called off, and her best friend’s relationship ended back in May.
Prior to this split, though, she had been asked to store her best friend’s wedding dress at her house.
“Which I was happy to do and obviously would have regardless of [the wedding’s] canceled status,” she clarified.
In addition to the dress, she also stored some of her best friend’s post-breakup items after they moved out. This included a big box of random stuff, like nail polishes and wax kits, which her friend decided they didn’t need in their new single life.
Now, she never wanted any of that stuff, but she was just trying to be supportive.
However, it has been five months since then, and her best friend has completely moved on. In fact, her friend is really happy and even has a new boyfriend.
That’s why she has tried to talk to her friend about what to do with both the dress and the rest of the items.
During a discussion in August, she learned that her friend didn’t want to wear the gown for a future wedding. Instead, her friend wanted to sell the dress.

So, she pointed out how her friend would need to do that soon before the style becomes discontinued.
“And I tried to help her. I sent my friend links to the exact dress for sale on Stillwhite and Poshmark. I offered to do it for her,” she recalled. “But my friend ignored those texts, and the subject eventually changed.”
She hasn’t brought up the gown or her friend’s other things since that conversation, either. Still, she has tried to drop some pretty large hints about her friend taking back at least the post-breakup belongings. Regardless, her friend just keeps brushing off her remarks.
“So, I would need to be fully assertive about not wanting to store the dress anymore,” she said.
The only thing holding her back is the fact that she does technically have the space to store her friend’s things. After all, she has a home; meanwhile, her friend lives in a one-bedroom apartment.
“But I really just want full use of my second closet back from this giant $3,000 Cinderella ball gown because I have a lot of clothes,” she vented.
That’s why she’s now been left wondering if refusing to continue storing her friend’s wedding dress would be a jerky move or understandable.
Would you want to store your friend’s wedding dress and other items for so long? Does it seem like enough time has passed for her to have a serious talk with her friend about taking the dress back, especially because her friend has since moved on? How would you handle this situation?
