Do you have any good ideas as to what to do with someone's old wedding dress?

If it's still in good shape why don't you sell it? Do you have a re-sale shop close to you? Some people go to these shops especially for items like this as the economy is so down right now. Or they're just out of work.

I can't remember if you're a crafter or not? There might be some idea's off into that area.

What about draperies or curtains? A shower curtain, well maybe not that one... hmmm. I'm not that creative, lol, so sorry if my suggestions aren't that good. Check this link out, maybe you'll find more ideas! http://ths.gardenweb.com/... worry, IT'S NOT A REFERRAL LINK!

maybe you can remake the fabric into some little girl dress up clothes, I know I used satin scraps to make sachets, even a little lace on them too, pretty and smelled good - but the resale shop might be the best idea

Many years ago I sold mine to a resell it kind of shop. Didn't get much for it but it was off my hands. Did save it for a long time but our kids didn't have any interest in wearing it. Plus, it was too small. Think our oldest daughter also sold her wedding dress but can't remember where. You might try selling it on e-Bay and see what happens. I have one here, from our youngest daughter, which is just sitting in the closet catching dust.

Dye the fabric and make clothing out of it. The a nice satin skirt and a nice satin top can never go wrong.

How about some Cushion Covers and put the Cushions on your Bed, Tablecloth, or even a Bed throw over just like half a one to go over your Cover

I had the same problem so when we had our auction sale I put my daughters first wedding dress in the sale. I don't know what you can do but don't do what I did all I got was one dollar for the dress and new it was 1,000.00. Good Luck!!!

What about sachets. You could dye the fabric different colors and make a bunch of different sachets. Make one side out of the satin fabric and the other side use toulle or something with tiny little holes and file with popurri (not sure how to spell that). If you aren't up to the task, I would put the material up on ebay or even etsy as they selling crafting supplies including material on there as well.

I would look into selling it. Even if you think its out of fashion there might be a bride out there who wants an out of fashion dress. People have all kinds of different tastes, you never can tell. Or a dressmaker or someone good at dressmaking might want to buy it and adapt it for someone else. If you weren't worried about getting the money for it, you could perhaps give it to a charity shop to sell.

What a dilemma! You have received some very good ideas about using the satin. I would use it for pillows myself. Make ring bearer's pillows out of material. You can add lace and ribbons to it for decoration.
