We know that these days there are tons of fashionable bridesmaid dresses that the bride swears you'll wear again, but somehow almost all of them end up in the back of your closet collecting dust. Sure, you loved the color and fabric your best gal chose, but somehow can't seem to separate yourself enough to donn the dress for another shindig. Besides donating these frocks, what else can you do with them so they don't go to waste? We spotted this custom bridesmaid dress quilt over at Uncommon Goods and think it is the perfect way to create something both pretty and practical as a continuous reminder of all those times you danced the night away with your nearest and dearest.
We'd heard of this being done with old sorority t-shirts, but it never crossed our mind to do it with bridesmaid dresses! So once this next wedding season ends and your left with piles of tafetta, shantung, and satin, consider having them made into something more. Just think of the conversations your bridesmaid quilt could start!
Buying bridesmaid dresses can be one of the most fun parts of planning your wedding. It can also be one of the most stressful. Traditionally, the bride will pick out the color, and the girls will decide and agree on the style. The only exception being that the necklines of the bridesmaid's dresses should be similar to the neckline of the bridal gown.
