Not sure what to do with your Grad clothes?

[Jingles]

So after you grad (girls especially...) how much more use are you gonna get out of that grad dress??
Seriously.....like a wedding gown it can be something you lug around for a ridiculously long time never to wear again

kept only for sentimental reasons
But we all know how important that PROM day was ...how we fussed over what to wear and who to go with and blah blah blah

but what about the teens who can't afford to make their Grad all shiney and great?
Maybe it's just one superficial night...but i think it's one that all teens deserve
A night to just be shiney

that's where the Cinderella Project comes into play - they collect tuxes and dresses and make them avaible to teens who really couldn't afrod it any other way

So if your dress still looks great - and you're never going to wear it...why not let someone else have a great night in ?

I'm going in the very near future ...if you have something suitable - feel free to drop me a PM or go yourself to one of the drop off locations!

Yeah our school helped out with that shit after grad and shit their great... and contrary to most orgs that say they help this one does it directly none of that middleman BS

I think that is such a great program, it really helped out my friend for grad. It's such a heartbreaking thing when girls who can't afford to spend the hundreds on their outfit as other girls miss out on such a special night because they have nothing to wear :(

I'm NEVER getting rid of my prom dress, it's vintage and not your average princess dress so i probably will wear it one day. however, I'm deffinately going to offer my Make-up skills for free to any of the girls that want their make up done proffesionally. OooOh aahhh I'm a professional now! (or well.. when I start getting paid for it)

the program also takes shoes and accesories as far as I know.

that's such a good idea!! they had mentions of it at my school, but i had totally forgotten. i'd love to give them my dress. it's nothing to fancy, but it's nice and not even a year old. i knowi'll never wear it again so knowing some other girl can is a nice thought. my dress isn't doing anything but hanging in my basement anyways [doesn't fit in my closet]. even better, one of the drop off locations is about 10 minutes from my house!

thanks maryah :)

[zarlon]

my grad dress costs 50 bucks, haha

and i probably wont even go to prom! fuck that shit

[Raver_Princess]

my dress cost over $600 theres no way i would give it away! Thats just crazy talk

[charly]

^ my dress and all that was about $300, but what's the point when it's just going to sit around and never be worn again?

[krisamata]

absolutely wonderful.

i wonder if theres someone out there who also likes seafoam green hahaha

Ohh and ahhhhh...what's it worth if all it does is sit in the closet?
Unless you wear it who cares what it costs?

Jenna - make-up skills..good on ya!

[junglEst_gurl]

^agreed !
i have a really pretty grad dress thats just been sittin in my closet...I think the cinderella projects a awesome idea!maybe i will donate mine in...i like to think ill wear it again but sumhow I highly doubt it

[krisamata]

i say before anyone gives away their dress...

DO wear it one more time, even if it's just to do the vaccuming around the house.

get all dolled up and enjoy it one last time.
haha

[Jingles]

^^
Agreed

My girlies and I got together - had tea then went to MacDonald's for cheeseburgers in our dresses not too long ago

We were aging Prom queens
cute and pathetic at the same time!

but all around fun

mine was custom made to fit me.. but i think i gained a few pounds since my grad.

it's so pretty, but i can't wear it anywhere..

I wanted it to look like a dress from a fred astaire and ginger rogers movie

Ahaha Claire mine was 50 bux too! It was a green, home made dress from the 50's. Very Audrey Hepburne/Jackie O.
It's one of a kind and I will wear it again, which is why I'm keeping it. But I'm thinking of checking out the vintage stores again and finding a cheap dress to donate anyways.

And these people are right, who cares how much you spent on the thing? That's almost selfish to keep it in your closet because you think giving it away will what..? Take an expensive hanger-warmer away from you? This way you will make a girl very very happy, fuck 500 dollars, that's priceless :) Maybe you should have thought about spending a few hundred bucks on a dress you'll only wear once before you bought it if the price is such a big deal.

[mugsy]

ive worn the top half of my dress a plenty, its a killer corset...
i would love to be able to give my dress away, but i cant. too much sentiment ... and i also have remodeling plans for it.
so they take accessories eh? i got so much jewlery from my grandma its crazy... i think i will have to give some. i was origionally building up the curage to drop it off at a local value village but givin them to this program would make it alot easier.

[IvoryBaby]

that's an awesome idea :)

just wonderful

[Erin]

I would wear my dress again. I just need to go somewhere nice enough to wear it.

[ebbomega]

I shant ever wear my dress again....

IT'S PRECIOUS TO ME!!!

[diva]

I'll donate my grad dress.

edit: my shoes too.

[miss.myra]

totally great....

my mom was asking me the other day "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT?" and I wasn't sure I wanted to let it go
(ivory gown from venus & mars with like flower vines for straps...just GORGEOUS)

Unfortunately, I had it totally custom tailored to have it fit me exactly perfectly (meaning, I'll never fit into it again)

thanks marayah!

[*STARFISH*]

i snagged my dress in the limo..
i dont think anyone would want it.. :(

[Jingles]

Maybe we should all get together - put the dresses on and take a pic then go down and donate

the title of the pic can be "Well it USED to fit!"
:p

[Special_J]

I have 2 grad dresses and I have never even worn the second one except for when I went to the fitting! Don't ask how I ended up with 2, I just couldn't decide which I liked more. But I could never get rid of either of them, they mean way to much to me. I have acutally lost weight since grad so now the dresses are both a little bit big on me, but I still hope I get the chance to wear them again.
