If you are a pageant contestant or titleholder like me, you probably have lots of dresses hanging in your closet. With prom and spring dances happening right now for so many girls across the country I want to encourage everyone to share a dress.
Sharing a dress means donating one of your old gowns or dresses to an organization that gives them to girls to wear to prom or formal dances. It is easy to forget how blessed we are to have lots of great dresses hanging in our closets. There are young women in all of our communities who want to go to prom but can't afford to buy a dress. Maybe you know a youth program or church group, or maybe you just mention to a few teachers that you have dresses to lend or give away to a young woman who needs a dress for prom. Chances are you have a dress you could donate.
There are lots of ways to donate your old dresses if you do a little searching online, plus you can do things in your own community. You might even contact your church or school to see about creating a dress closet in your community.
So look for ways to share your dresses. Some of your dresses probably have some great memories attached them, and it would be a wonderful next step in the life of a dress to make a girl's day by helping her go to prom.
