Breast Cancer Advice Center

Will you donate your wedding dress to help people in need?

Your wedding dress deserves a happy life too? Right? But it sits in your closet, waiting to be eaten by bugs or fire or rejected by your daughter because the dress doesn't have a wireless hook-up thingy to regulate body temperature (standard in yr 2025). Making Memories is a non-profit organization founded for the express purpose of granting memory-making events and last wishes to women and men who suffer from metastatic breast cancer. Making Memories is able to grant these wishes by selling wedding gowns that have been donated by manufacturers, bridal shops and individuals at our events called "Brides Against Breast Cancer" across the nation. Please visit www.makingmemories.org and see the wishes we grant with the proceeds of our wedding gown sales. Your donation and shipping costs are tax deductible. We'll love an appreciate your dress and you'll have more room for shoes.

1. No way! I spent 5,000 on my dress! And I am not donating it! It is for my daughter if I ever have one!
2. why would anyone spend that kind of money on a dress use it for the honey moon
3. true. 5000 for a dress??? I would have rather gotten a $300-$500 dress and invested the rest.
4. I'm not sure. My mother kept her wedding gown, (actually it stayed in my grandmother's closet), for years even after she got divorced from my father. As a little girl, I always imagined myself bringing it back and wearing it to my own wedding. Now however the gown is long gone, to where I don't know, but I hope it made someone happy. When I do get married someday, I don't know if I'll be giving up my gown. If it was store bought, I might donate it. If I make it myself, then probably not as it will hold huge sentimental value to me. But in the same sense, as I am designing my own clothing line at the moment for my future store and website, I may just put together a few bridal gowns just for the purpose of donating them.
