I can't give it away to another bride as it has some stains on it that the dry cleaners could not remove. It wasn't very expensive (less than $120), is floor length white satin with spaghetti straps and no lace or embellishments other than some decorative embrodiery on the front. It wouldn't look good if I tried to make it into a shorter dress. Where could I take it so that someone could use the material to make other clothing? By the way it's a women's size 16/18 (US).

Take it to a professional seamstress. They are everywhere and you can find one in the phone book. You could have it altered to wear on other occasions. You could save it for your children. You could have it completely made over into keepsakes like pillow covers or table cloths. Even a negligee to wear on your second anniversary.

if you have children, or any one you know with a baby,...
mine was done into a pillow, and a christening outfit. the pillow is a keepsake, and the christening dress i hope to give to one of my 4 sons (when they have kids)
the pillow i hope they will use on their wedding day for a ring bearer.because it takes a few yards of material to make a christening gown, the seamstress will have plenty to work with. the veil i had was used for trim on the pillows.

if you plan on having kids and plan on christening them, you could make it into a christening gown.
