The One-Run Dress

It's the antithesis of the LBD. It's the Little Sea Green, Ruched Gauze Overlay, Fake Rhinestone Detailing On The Train Dress (or LSGRGOFRDOTTD for short). Or maybe it's a Little Burgundy Dress from that wedding a few years ago that no longer fits. These dresses are beautiful in their own right, but just can't seem to make it out of the back of your closet.

With prom/graduation season coming to an end and wedding season just beginning, I think it's the perfect time to save you a little closet space and put those one hit wonders to good use - and a good cause.
There are several organizations in the area that take lightly worn dresses and donate them to girls who might not otherwise have the means to splurge on a one-time-wear gown.




The Formal Dress Project and a volunteer project by University of Delaware's Spirit Ambassadors both hold prom dress drives.

Men's formal wear is also welcomed, so, gentlemen, take advantage of this legitimate excuse for why you can't get dressed up for the family reunion.
