Dear Queenie,
When I got married I wore a beautiful custom-made gown, but what do I do with it now? It seems wasteful to pack it away and let it rot.
Queenie, what do you suggest?—Newlywed
Dear Newlywed,
You could pack the gown away carefully so it does not “rot” and hope that your daughter(s) or your son(s)’ bride(s) would like to wear it at their wedding(s).
Or you could have it altered (and possibly dyed) into an evening gown that you yourself could wear on formal occasions.
Or you could donate it to a worthy organisation that then could sell (or donate) it to someone who otherwise could not afford such a lovely wedding gown.
Or you could advertise it for sale online, perhaps on eBay.
