Resell or Repurpose the Dress?

Any suggestions for re-selling or re-purposing my wedding dress?

We were married out of town in November and have our formal reception & a vow-renewal  coming up in June for the BIG crowd. I think my dress would re-purpose nicely into a cocktail dress, but it may cost less to buy a new one. 

I'm also considering selling it. 

Any thoughts?

Suggestions?

Thanks!

  • You posted a similar question before.  Have you talked to a seamstress to see what they can do?

    You think it would re-purpose nicely into a cocktail dress. Go for it.

    That depends. How much did you pay and how much would you want for it?  How much are you willing to spend on a new cocktail dress?  All of these things have to factor in.
