Does anyone have any idea what I could do with old recital costumes? I've used a couple for dress up clothes, but most of them are high dollar sparkly, fru fru, sequined, fluffy costumes that were worn only twice each. I have about 25 or 30 from the past 7 dance seasons. I've tried craigslist and eBay too. And I'm not asking an arm and a leg. Maybe $20 to $30 each for costumes that I paid $80 or more for. I just don't know what to do with them and they're starting to take over the closets. Any ideas?

when you list on ebay, have you tagged them for pageant wear? -
I was thinking along the lines of craftsy projects.
I know when my niece did dance for several years, my sister covered photo frames with some of the fabric, gave photos as gifts. Or quilts, I could picture beautiful crazy quilts? Pillows?
As far as selling them, I have no clue. I know we get a lot of 'no longer needed' dance outfits from one of my dcgs and the kids love them as dress-up.
Are some suitable to advertise as princess or fairy costumes for Halloween? It's unreal what some dcps pay for costumes, 20-30 would be nothing.Comment

Etsy or groups on FB sometimes have buy/sell/trade where you can post and first in line gets it, if they don't show, next in line and so on. Usually, people sell pretty quickly in those groups.

Dance.net, you can sometimes sell them there. Many studios who have children who do competitive dance don't spend tons of money on fancy costumes.Comment
