        <title>What to do with a bridesmaid dress? - Cheap Thrills - cheapthrills&apos;s Blog - Bakersfield.com</title>

        <description>The new movie &amp;quot;27 Dresses&amp;quot; has people talking &amp;mdash; and not just because the hot Katherine Heigl stars in it. No, women are talking because they wonder what would they do with 27 bridesmaid dresses? What do you do with just one??

Luckily, I&#039;ve never been a bridesmaid, so I don&#039;t have to worry about such things. But if you have a dress laying around that you will never wear again, you might consider donating it to one of the following organizations that gives dresses to low-income high school students so they can go to their proms. These sites are listed in the &amp;quot;Charitable Wedding News&amp;quot; section of www.idofoundation.org.
 Chicago: The Glass Slipper Project: http://www.glassslipperproject.org/
Washington: The Fairy Godmothers: http://www.fairygodmothers.org
Arizona: Fairy Godmothers of Flagstaff: http://hometown.aol.com/storybookbridal/godmothers.html
Ohio: Fairy Godmothers Inc.: www.fairygodmothersinc.com   
Also, for some real laughs, check out UglyDress.com, which bills itself as the &amp;quot;Archive for the world&#039;s ugliest bridesmaid dresses.&amp;quot;

                <description>I was going to describe one that my wife had to buy, but the one in the link, &amp;quot;Married in a Whorehouse&amp;quot;, sums it up nicely. What does The Salvation Army do with them? Shouldn&#039;t there be an environmental outrage over them going into landfills?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
