Find new uses for that old bridesmaid dress hanging in your closet.
You Will Need
- A used bridesmaid dress
- Ingenuity
- Imagination
Step 1
Take apart your dress and use the fabric by sewing the material into throw pillows, chair covers, or a runner.
Simple pillow patterns are available online.
Step 2
Sell the dress at a consignment shop, online, or at a garage sale.
Step 3
Donate your dress to a high school’s prom dress charity. Other charities and local thrift shops also accept special occasion dresses.
Check online to find local dress donation drives.
Step 4
Shorten it to a cocktail dress or alter it into a blouse or simple skirt. If these projects are beyond your skill, hire a seamstress to do the alterations.
Step 5
Lend the dress to a younger sibling or relative for a school dance.
Step 6
Wear an old bridesmaid dress as part of a Halloween costume. Be a proper Southern belle or rip the dress and go as a prom queen zombie.
Did you know? Historically, bridesmaids protected the bride against evil spirits by wearing similar clothing to confuse them.

If it is big enough,you can attach more things to the dress,or refine it with the advice of professional tailor.That must be wonderful.
