1. Make a Quilt. If you have a family member or friend who is into quilting, you can have them turn your wedding dress into a quilt. This is a great option for those who don’t have children or only have sons (it makes a great gift to them when they’re getting married)

2. Dye it. Depending on the fabric, you may be able to have your dress professionally dyed, so you can wear it again as an evening gown.

3. Shorten it. Have the dress shorten and wear it as a cocktail dress

4. Sell it. Hopefully, you will only get married once, so if you’re not the sentimental type, sell your wedding dress on eBay or craigslist. Often, you can recoup up to 75% of the price of the dress.

5. Save it. You may have a family member who would be interested in using the dress.
