Anniversary Outfit
This isn't a practical use if you're going to be dining out, but you might remind your husband how beautiful you looked on your wedding day by pulling the gown out of the closet for a candlelight dinner.
Cocktail Dress
If you were thinking ahead, you bought a gown that could be shortened and stylishly worn as the white version of an LBD (Little Black Dress).
Again, your gown should have a simple cut, but your daughter or other female relative might truly appreciate something so elegant for their prom. Since white and ivory are entirely acceptable for such events, you won't even have to dye it.
Flower Girl Dress
Think how special a little flower girl would feel if she were actually wearing a wedding dress. Of course, you'll have to cut it down to her size which takes a lot of skill.
Fairy Princess Dress
Cut the gown down to your daughter's size, add wings and, presto, instant dress up. What little girl wouldn't adore such a true-to-life costume?
Sell On eBay
Once you have cash in hand rom the eBay auction, you can donate the proceeds to the charity of your choice. Or you could keep the cash. Whatever.
Halloween Costume
This is one I actually did. My husband and I dressed up as an escaped bride and groom from the top of a wedding cake. We did a little DIY by cutting Styrofoam into ragged pieces, and decorated them with cake-decorating goo and attached them to our shoes so it looked like we'd pulled our way out of the icing.
