PLEASE Don't Trash the Dress

Hi ladies. For those of you who still have your dresses or haven't yet married, please consider donating your dress once the wedding is over (if you're not planning on keeping/preserving it).

If you do a Google search for Donating dresses, there are lots of sights and choices out there. I'm planning on sending mine to the Brides Against Breast Cancer organization. You can make a difference in many peoples lives by this choice. Just thought I'd attach some links for any of you interested.

that's awesome of you- I don't think I'd be able to bear trashing my dress OR giving it away- but I admire your decision!

This is a wonderful idea! I did something similar several years ago for a Prom Dress Drive and it felt so good to know that the girls who couldn't afford to buy a dress for prom would still be able to go and look beautiful! I'm totally going to do this!

Does it count as a donation? If its tax deductible then I'm IN. Thanks, I'll do some research.

Mine is already a once-worn dress (I bought it on Craig's List) but I'd be happy to donate it if anyone would want a twice-worn dress... I just love it!

Thanks for posting this!!! I'm buying an inexpensive dress for my trash the dress shoot but will get it cleaned and be sure to donate that dress. I dont have my wedding dress yet but know I will want to keep it!

Forgot to mention, FYI, I know Brides Against Breast cancer is tax-deductible....so you benefit in more ways than one!
