Bargain Basement Evening Gowns

This is a wonderful way to clean out your closets and make some money during Prom and Homecoming Season. People always have old Prom dresses and Bridesmaids dresses that they don’t know what to do with. Post flyers around your school, church and neighborhood asking for donations of old evening gowns and specify a drop off place & contact phone number. Make sure to call around to Bridal Shops and Fashion Boutiques to see if they have any dresses that they would be willing to donate. Saturday morning would probably be the best day for a sale like this. Set up the sale in a large room, such as a gym or cafeteria. Don’t forget to set up dressing rooms with full length mirrors. It might be fun to bring in some hairstylists or make-up artists to give makeovers for a donation too. Set prices as low at $20 and up to $50 and expect to make a huge profit. Shopping always works up a thirst and appetite, so have coffee, bagels, donuts and bottled water available for sale.
