That old prom dress you have hanging in the back of your closet is great for nostalgia, but do you really need to keep it forever? Consider donating your gently used formal wear to an organization like the Princess Project or Becca's Closet that will recycle it by putting it in the hands of a young woman who can't afford her dream gown. Dozens of programs across the country specialize in providing free dresses to high school girls to wear to their proms, formals, and graduation events.
Your embarrassing prom photos, though, are yours to keep for life.
