You can repurpose your dress for use in a future special occasion. There are multiple tips on Pinterest and elsewhere showing wedding dress conversions into beautiful heirloom christening gowns.

You can also transform your dress into ring bearer pillows, flower girl purses, or jewelry. We’ve seen several posts on converting gowns into angel dresses – a special garment for babies who are born premature or stillborn and leave the hospital on angels’ wings. What a wonderful way to give back to families who are experiencing unimaginable sorrow.
