You searched long and hard for the perfect prom style, got your hair and make-up done, and you’re ready for a memorable night with your friends and date.
Once prom night is over and you hang up your prom dress you don’t have wonder, what do I do with it now? We have some great ideas on how to recycle that gorgeous dress!
Where it again! Are you invited to a wedding this summer? Recycle your dress by wearing it to a wedding or using it as your bridesmaid dress if you are a part of the bridal party.
Update it! One great way to reuse your prom gown is to give it a makeover. Not loving the straps? Cut them off. Unsure about the length? Hem it into a cocktail dress. With a few statement accessories, some stitches, and great personal style, you’ll have yourself a date-night look.
Donate it! Let someone you love re-wear your prom dress! Little sisters or younger friends will appreciate saving some time and money on finding the perfect gown.
You can also give it to a girl in need. There are plenty of charities you can donate prom dresses to, and they will pass them on to less fortunate teenage girls who want to feel beautiful on their big day.
Swap it! Some of you may still have one more prom left! Did you love your best friend’s dress last year? Think you could make it your own? Trade prom gowns! It’s a great way to save money!
