Now you have a long beautiful pricey gown to remind you of a Prom that never was. You have, however, made the painful decision to get rid of it but in a responsible manner. Well the good news is that you can turn that prom dress into something else. Here are top ten uses for an unworn prom dress. 1. Return it. If you brought the prom dress from a store with a liberal return policy, the tags are still in place, and it is in its unworn condition, you can try to return it for a refund or exchange for something you can use. If for some reason you did not make the prom due to a recalcitrant date or other extenuating situations, then buy something that would provide comfort and joy a want more so than a need, say an Ipod? 2.

I bet, depending on the length of your dress, you may be able to wrangle from 2 to 4 pillows. You don't have to be an expert seamstress for all the sewing projects here. All you need is a good pattern, the ability to disassemble a prom dress carefully, and follow instructions.

I purchased the most gorgeous Christmas sweater from a yard sale two summers ago. It still had the tag in and at .50 cents it was a real bargain.
