Your prom dress does not have to be a one time wear!

Back in time around 1958 people were a bit more frugal than they are now. They re-used clothing that had been purchased for special occasions. One such time I know of personally is my Mom and Dad's wedding. My Dad's sister, Louise, used her prom dress as her maid of honor's dress for my parent's wedding. Just by adding a lovely headpiece and a new pair of shoes, this prom dress became a maid of honor dress.
