How to Donate Red Carpet Event Dresses

Donating a Red Carpet Event Dress to charity is an efficient, nearly effortless way for a celebrity or someone in the public eye to give back to those who are less fortunate or privileged. Donating a Red Carpet Dress makes so much sense as once a gown has been worn on the Red Carpet, most women don't wear it again. If a women wears a dress again it usually attracts negative attention from the paparazzi. (See References1) To donate a red carpet dress to charity, women have options which range from assisting teenage girls to making dresses available in stores.

Instructions

1. Visit the website donatemydress.org. This is a charity which makes red carpet dresses and prom dresses available to girls who can't afford to buy their own prom dress, Sweet Sixteen dress, or Quincinera dress. You can browse by state to find the donation center nearest you.

2. Contact the Lavender Trust Charity. A few years ago they sponsored the "27 Dresses" auction online where celebrities donated their Red Carpet Dresses. Tell the Lavender Trust that you'd like to donate your Red Carpet Dresses to their charity (http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/?page_id=512).

3. Contact the charities "Help the Aged" and "Age Concern." Recently those charities sponsored an event at TopShop in which celebrities donated their dresses to the shop and the shop made the dresses available to the public to rent for a few weeks for around $80. At the end, those charities hosted an auction. Tell the charities that you'd like to donate Red Carpet Dresses for similar, future events
