plus size wedding gowns in nyc image
GAgirl
This is the 2nd time I've posted this because I decided to add some information and wanted new people to be able to see all the details.
I have a beautiful plus size gown that I would like to donate to someone that can't afford one or to a good cause. Does anyone know where or how I can do this?
If anyone is in need of a gown, please email me, I'd be glad to email you pictures.
If anyone has read any of my previous posts, they know my husband died a little over a year ago. This gown is special to me, but I'd like to be able to donate it to someone in need so that they can have some of the joy that we had
Answer
You should be very proud that you're trying to do such an honorable thing with a precious item. Here are a few sites that I've seen recently that look good:
http://www.makingmemories.org/brides_against_breast_cancer.html
Raising money for breast cancer, unsure if they sell to survivors only or not, but a good cause either way.
http://bridalgarden.org/AboutUs1.html
Another site that'll sell your dress and use the money for good causes, this one for NYC children.
http://heavenlyangelsinneed.com/WeddingGowns.html
This is a children's charity group, they take the gowns and create burial clothing for babies. Not everyone would be comfortable with their wedding gown being taken apart, but they're typically very good fabric and embellishments for this sort of thing, and again it's a very good cause. In fact, it's more of a direct donation than "donate so we can sell it and use the money," some deserving family will actually use the gown itself.
Good luck.

How would this dress look with lace sleeves?
Squash-Pum
I am a bridesmaid for my aunt's wedding this summer. I DO NOT look good in strapless gowns, I have very big arms and a dress with sleeves looking much more flattering on me. The dress has a chiffon sheath and lace over it. I bought 2 yards of lace fabric to make sleeves (not cap sleeves -- 3/4 arm length sleeves). Do you think this would look good? I live in the NYC area -- are there any tailors you would recommend to add sleeves?
This is the dress as it is right now

This is the type of sleeves I want

Also, I do not need much coverage in the bust area.
Answer
I prefer the second sleeves since it is for a wedding and the first are more dramatic and more glam, while the second sleeves are more conservative and "pretty."
As for a tailor, ask around with coworkers, friends..ect.
Maybe take it to the place that is doing the dresses, like a David's Bridal. Be prepared to pay more, otherwise they might not come out great. Use good judgement so that the dress isn't ruined in the process

Best of luck!
