What To Do With a Wedding Gown After the Divorce

Roswell Patch contributor shares her thoughts in a new book.

Editor's Note: writes the "In Your Business" profiles on Roswell Patch. She has recently come out with her own book, so we turned the tables on her, got in her business and found some answers. Read on!

What is the name of your book and why did you write it?

I wrote “From Wedding Gown to Divorce Dress: 12 Things to Do with Your Gown After the Divorce is Final” based on a conversation with a co-worker many years ago. She had just finalized a messy divorce and told me she certainly did not want her daughter to wear her wedding dress. That got me thinking about what to do with the dress after a divorce.

Give us a sneak peek, what is one idea you share in the book?

My favorite project - and perhaps the snarkiest - is to create a Halloween costume: Madonna in "Like a Virgin" - just add rosaries, lacy gloves, a "boy toy" belt and lots of eye liner and mascara.
