Where Can I (Wednesday) : Recycle or Donate Used Bridesmaid Dressed?

“You smell like pine needles, and have a face like sunshine!”

Hopefully if you were a bridesmaid, your experience was better than that one.

Although Beth’s walked down the aisle, I’ve only been the warm-up to the main event… Approximately 7 times. Which  means I’ve acquired quite a few unwearable, unflattering bridesmaid dresses.

So what should you do with those old dresses? Let’s revisit where you can recycle, upcycle or donate those used gowns:

• Newlymaid lets you trade in your old bridesmaid dresses for a new Little Black Dress (for a reduced price)
• Donate your gowns to Philly-based Fairy  Godmothers. For more info, email: laurie@mypromdres.org.
• Try selling your old dress on Recycled Bride or Bridesmaid Trade.
• For those ladies with a ring on it, you can even donate your wedding gown to Brides Against Breast Cancer!
• If you’re a creative DIY-type (and like the dress style), you could always dye it black or a different color to wear it again.
