"Throwing away a bridesmaids dress&amp;amp;#8212;especially one that you&amp;amp;#8217;ve spend hundreds on&amp;amp;#8212;feels like a big ol&amp;amp;#8217; waste. Which is why most former bridesmaids I know have an extensive collection of dresses taking up valuable closet space. If you can come to terms with the fact that you&amp;amp;#8217;ll never wear that mess of dresses again&amp;amp;#8212;and, really, did you enjoy wearing any of them the first time around?&amp;amp;#8212;here&amp;amp;#8217;s a way to put them to good use. From March 9 to 13, bridesmaids dress boutique 57Grand in New York City is collecting dresses for Operation Prom, which will get your dress to an underprivileged girl who&amp;amp;#8217;s hoping to attend a prom this spring. Not in NYC? Click here for more drop-off spots in New York. You can also mail your dress to Operation Prom, 250 West 39th Street, Suite 804, New York, NY 10018. Bonus: The first 100 ladies to donate a dress (or five) get a free nail polish and lipstick from Revlon. Are any of your old bridesmaids dresses prom-worthy? Has anyone ever donated a bridesmaids dress before? Where?
