Always annoyed that you spend a bunch of money on a bridesmaid dress in online and only wear it once? Is your closet getting over-stuffed by the bridesmaid dresses that you never think you're going to wear again? Even if the bride thinks you will, let's face it: we are only going to stash it deep in our closet. Now you want to wear this to some other occasions you get invited to - maybe another wedding, or maybe a prom party. It is time to pull those neglected dresses out of the closet and give them a second chance at life. We have found easy ways to revive your bridesmaid dresses that will still keep the memories of that special day alive without clogging up your closet. Here are five different ways to reuse your bridesmaid dress. Simply get it altered. If you're not sewing-savvy, take your dress to a seamstress and explain what you want done. If it's long, turn it into a short skirt; if it's short then turn it into a cocktail dress. Tap into your inner fashion designer and create a dress that fits your style or making a children dress. Take it in, snip it off, add a bow here or there and voila, you will have a cute little girl in a holiday dress. Add embellishments.
Most bridesmaid dresses are plain dresses and can really use some pizzazz to them. Adding embellishments like sequence, lace, rhinestones or beads will give it a whole new look. Gift it to the bride. This would be the best way for the bride to remember friends and memories from her special day. Cutting pieces off your dress and making it into a quilt, pillowcase or even framing it can be a thoughtful and surprising gift. Donate your dress. By donating your dress to charities like Princess Project and Donate My Dress, you are providing a dress for girls who can't afford to buy a prom dress. This will definitely make you feel good. Whether you are donating your used dresses to non-profit organizations, bringing your clothes to recycling locations or sending them to online companies that modify your used clothing into a new product, let's always try our very best in being responsible when getting rid of our used clothing. Hopefully this opens your eyes to the possibility of going into your closet and digging up the dusty dress and creating something new.
