Angela: A couple of thoughts are donating it to your high school or local theatre group for costuming.



if it's appropriate for a prom, there is an organization (I'd have to look for the information) that accepts dresses to distribute to girls who can't afford prom dresses.

I thought that color was normal. (I have been told I have used up ALL of my allotment of non harmful sunshine. Fair-skinned people have a smaller allotment than others)

Could you use it if you changed the skirt?

I second the recommendation to donate it to your local theatre department...

I donated some of mine from back in the seventies - and they loved them. The very next production - I saw three of my dresses! LOL

I buy old dresses at yard sales and donate them to DD's school for costumes. I also contact local tuxedo rental shops to ask if they could donate them to the school when the tuxes get too shabby to rent out. (They will, but I had to pick them up. Worked for me)

However, my tour de force was last year, the day after Halloween at our high-end party store. It's all ridiculously overpriced stuff, but it was all

90% off on Nov. 1. I bought every appropriate sized costume I could find (except for things that looked obviously "Halloween-ish." There aren't many calls for pumpkins when doing Shakespere) I scored 40 costumes for just under $200. I was very, very happy.

I agree, this is a very neat program/project - especially considering what a very special/significant event the prom is for most girls at that point in life..

Two links - first is for several of the programs in the US second link is for branches in Canada
