WDYD with old bridesmaid dresses?

[rbp]

I am going through my closet (like I do every May, but I'm never quite ruthless enough). I have a couple of old BM dresses that I'm definitely never going to wear again. (One of them is from STYYD LOL.) They are not in perfect condition--each has a little snag along the back of the hemline (so not super noticeable). I really need to get these out of my house. Should I bother with trying to consign or just donate?

I've just donated in the past. Maybe others have better suggestions.

Is there a charity that gives them away as prom dresses?

I donatated all of mine to the same place I donated my wedding dress

I donated to a group giving the dresses to girls going to prom

I'd just donate unless you want to wait to donate to a charity collecting homecoming dresses in the fall

This is a good idea, thanks! It's too late for prom, but I will look for a charity that collects dresses for homecoming/next year's prom.

Anyone happen to know one in Atlanta?

One of our local radio stations does an event called 'Operation Prom Princess' and they give prom dresses for underprivileged girls who can't afford a prom dress. They are always looking for donations. I would look into and see if there is something like that in your area.

I've sold mine on ebay.

Try CHOA, I know our children's hospital does a "prom" for kids who are inpatient during this time of year.  I just saw them bringing in the racks of formalwear the other day.  Not sure if it's the hospital itself or an outside charity that does it, but I bet contacting the gifts/donations folks would get you in the right spot.

+1 to this.  I've sold two on ebay in the past.

Also if they are outdated give to an angel organization that makes angel gowns for still born babies.

They've become DD's dress up dresses
