Recycle your wedding dress

It is believed that these methods can be a good way to recycle your wedding dress.



Over on “Sell my wedding dress” you can do what it says on the tin and make yourself some money! Over on the dressmarket, things work in a similar way and you can even search through the ‘wanted’ ads to see if someone is looking for what you have to offer.

Sell it



Take your beautiful Long Evening Dresses to a seamstress and get it made into something you could wear again by having it restyled into a new outfit. Some talented person will be able to make it into a jacket and skirt for example and then dye it so it becomes a ’special occasions’ outfit you can wear time and time again.



Repurpose



It’s unlikely that 25 years after your wedding your own daughter is going to want to wear your perfect dress, but you could get your dress made into an heirloom christening gown or other keepsake. Some people have them made into bedspreads, tablecloths, cushion covers, pillowcases or other household furnishings.


Restyle


Oxfam has a special section dedicated to White Flower Girl Dresses that people can browse online. Find your nearest participating Oxfam store on their storefinder page.

Charity:What better way to spread the love than to donate to Charity?
Will we reflect on a good way to change this situation?What a great question! How many of us buy the dress of our dreams to wear only once – It seems such a waste, doesn’t it?Then what we can do with the wedding dresses?



Many brides figure that it is wasteful that the wedding dresses be used only once.
