Green Idea: Bridesmaid Dress Recycling

You know that bridesmaid dress sitting in your closet? The one(s) that came with the reassurance that, "you could totally wear it again!" Yet, somehow it's never actually made a second appearance at any event? There's a girl out there who would love that dress more than you ever will. A girl who will look at that dress as a perfect gown for her winter ball or spring prom. A girl who would normally never be able to afford a dress like that.



Donate My Dress has assembled a list of dress donation organizations across the country that will find a deserving girl for that dress you had to have, but will never wear again. I love the event that our local Belle of the Ball creates, which makes getting a used gown a very special experience for girls referred by their school counselors and local social service agencies. If you need any more inspiration to donate, might I suggest watching 27 Dresses?
