Perhaps it is in some way cathartic for the former bride? Sure beats going out and getting blitzed or picking up a one night stand.
ON THE OTHER HAND. There's a lot to be said for turning lemons in to lemonade.
I can think of a lot more productive things to do with a wedding dress...donate it to a good cause or something. There are all sorts of places which take formals and gowns to pass on to others who cannot otherwise afford it, or just someone thriftier. I once ran a glass slippers project where we provided formal wear to HS girls who could not otherwise make their proms, etc.. Wedding dresses can be dyed if they did not want it white...but we had some beautiful donations that were used just as they were.
How much better it is to turn your bad memory or misgivings into someone elses boon. Talk about pay it forward.
