    Yes, any dress can be changed to a more modern dress, and they also can be cut down to make a new dress from a formal party for children and infants..cause I have done it before.

    Donate Your Dress - Create Another Magical Moment
    Create Another Magical Moment

    You're getting married. You have a gorgeous gown for this monumental day. But what happens to that gown once your day is over?

    Keep the pictures, but put the dress to good use and help support the I Do Foundation.

    It's easy - send us your dress, and we'll sell it through our consignment partner. We'll donate 20% of the proceeds from the sale of your dress to the charity of your choice, and use the remaining funds to support the I Do Foundation's ongoing work to encourage charitable giving at weddings. In addition, you receive a tax write-off from the I Do Foundation for the value of the dress.

    By donating your dress, you help support the I Do Foundation and its ability to promote charitable giving in the wedding industry. And if you sign up with the I Do Foundation today, the charity of your choice will receive 20% of the proceeds that the I Do Foundation receives from the sale of your dress.

    singwell-is off researching a lot

    I live in Australia. I have a friend in Bali, who remakes old wedding dresses and rents them out to poor girls getting married. Sometimes, she just asks them to pay for the dry cleaning. She also does the flowers and makeup. I have seen photos of girls she has helped and they look so beautiful. I have supplied her with dresses when I have gone to visit. I can give you an address if you would like to send one or two to her.
