9. Transform your dress
The dress obviously has great emotional value for you. Go and find a tailor near you, and ask what the options are for your beautiful wedding dress. For example, what you can make of your wedding dress are:
Tailor-made lingerie

A necklace
Decorating your baby's cradle

8. Save it for your daughter
You can also keep your wedding dress for your daughter. If she is about to get married, you could alter it in size, for example. Or just a little more fabric, or less of course.

7. Donate your wedding dress
Not everyone has the money to buy a new wedding dress. There are plenty of places where you can donate your wedding dress, to give your dress a second chance - & give someone else a special day at the same time.

6. Sell your wedding dress
If you are ready to part with your wedding gown, you can of course choose to sell it. You can do this by selling it on the market or through special shops for reselling wedding dresses. Selling your wedding dress will give you the opportunity to invest the money in your house, child or even an anniversary trip!

5. Rent your wedding dress
Don't want to part with your dress but still want to earn something in return? Rent the dress for a day. This way you give someone else the chance to wear a fabulous dress on their special day, if it is a wedding, birthday or gala. This way you don't have to part with the dress forever, but just for a day.
That works, right? ;)
