They pair donors and receipents through a collection/distribution organization in local areas. This allows a girl who can't afford a prom dress the opportunity to get one for free. <br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration on organizing my attic!<br /><br />Happy New Year!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.donatemydress.org/Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467588916094724158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977307823050840802.post-79463682797573717582012-04-04T20:31:26.769-04:002012-04-04T20:31:26.769-04:00Love your closet ideas!

The dresses went to a great home. And it was nice that the owner made sure the request was met. It made it easier to get rid of them. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977307823050840802.post-4387255523885289702010-11-06T17:02:59.696-04:002010-11-06T17:02:59.696-04:00I don't have daughters, but depending on the d...I don't have daughters, but depending on the dress materials, I would make memory pillows.

Not good.<br /><br />I still have my wedding dress, but since I didn't have any girls, I took it out of the hermetically (sp?) sealed box and put it in something smaller and prettier in my closet. I always wanted to make pillows out of my old prom dresses but Mom sold them at a yard sale years ago. Oh well.Teehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681629600576488888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977307823050840802.post-32685444527385797262010-10-16T09:45:44.532-04:002010-10-16T09:45:44.532-04:00I enjoyed you're enthusiasm here!

I plan on donating them to her closets when she settles in a permanent lifestyle...she is 23 and recently graduated from college...the fun has just begun! <br />When I first saw the attic area I thought of a cathedral...wouldn't it be pretty with a stained glass item hung by chains just a bit before the window...when you gaze in there you would see the light shining through it like a church window!Lizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375091482164484893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977307823050840802.post-33349788811047149882010-10-15T23:08:00.629-04:002010-10-15T23:08:00.629-04:00Well, I have both wedding dresses from both weddin...Well, I have both wedding dresses from both weddings! I tend to hang onto stuff tool, but before the second wedding I went from a 3800 sq ft house to a 1500 sq ft house, so naturally, I did get rid of some things, lol!

They probably got rid of them by now.<br />Clean closets are a good thing--as "Martha" would say.A Hint of Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350273064901061247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977307823050840802.post-51742808075611502882010-10-15T21:29:32.974-04:002010-10-15T21:29:32.974-04:00Yes!

We even have a pile that my husband picked up from christmas morning of clothes boxes with the tissue papers and bits of wrapping paper still on them. Now that's bad! I can relate to how happy you must feel because our attic space is a mess right now. It's a big walk in space too and it nothing but a catch all at times!
