If it is from a significant family or has special historic value, take it. Otherwise it may just be a storage burden for you over a period of time.

Hi Listserve members, I would like to hear from some of you on these issues. First of all, do you accept wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses that are old and have been stored in plastic bags for years so they all yellow? If you do, how do you get them cleaned and the yellow removed? We have two wedding dresses. They are from a member and also her mother. Both are yellowed. Looks like the mother's dress had been cleaned years ago but the member's dress had never been cleaned. I am sure that many have dealt with this issue and can give me some words of advice. Thanks, Nancy O'Kelley President Howard-Suamico Historical Society
