What I want to quickly go over is WHERE I got my dress. I got it in a large convention room in a hotel. An area that had Thousands of other dresses, linked to being married trade show, and my designer dress cost $500.
I got my dress from Brides Against Breast Cancer Tour of Robes, and if you don’t know about this business yet, you need to RIGHT NOW.
BABC takes used or new aniia wedding dresses – fully donated, and then sells them at a huge discount in every state. Proceeds go to provide free services for breast cancer patients and their own families. Last year $2million-ish was donated. That’s a lot of services!
Basically, it went like this. I didn’t want to spend $3, 000 on a dress, and sometimes the cheaper dresses just…. aren’t? something…. for a girl who isn’t 115lbs and super tan all the time. Someone had heard about this show coming to Greenville, and we decided to “check it out” just for fun. Suddenly, we made it possible to spend what we wanted to on a gorgeous dress And have all the proceeds go to a great cause.
It was kind of unbelievable. I aquired the first dress I tried on, and we had a blast- events like this have such a wonderful atmosphere. They’re almost entirely volunteer-run, and everyone is excited to be there.
After we get married, I’m going to give away my dress right back so that somebody else can enjoy it And it is able to keep earning a living for the cause. I know some people save their dresses for one reason or another, and that’s perfectly fine, but I also know some women who save their dresses because they aren’t sure what else regarding it, and selling it for the money seems kind of cold. I GET that, and if you’re in that boat, why not give away your dress to BABC? I can’t think of a better cause, and how fitting, isn’t it, that a dress that can make ANYONE feel girly and lovely can be used to benefit women with a disease that sometimes can take away feelings of femininity altogether.
