I can finally do something with the bridesmaid dresses I’ve collected throughout my life – donate to Project Bridesmaids.  Project Bridesmaids is a bridal event from ModernBride to benefit Planet Hope.  Donated dresses will be distributed to students for Prom 2009.

A dress donation will get you a free pass to the event featuring fashion shows, giveaways, shopping, makeovers, refreshments, and a chance to win a trip to Barbados.
