I've bought at least six bridesmaid's dresses that the brides promised would be sensible dresses I could wear again. I know better... ;~D
I've got about a hundred yards of taffetta and satin in my back closet... mostly jewel tones... anyone found a good use for this stuff? It makes lousy dishrags.
Do a Pretty In Pink thing.
Tear them up and make new dresses.
Or handbags.
Or a very cool looking table cloth.
