Popik has shared several additional videos about shortening her dress in recent weeks, and some TikTok users have reached out with ideas on how to reuse the leftover material from the bottom half of the gown.
\"It's been really special to connect with women around the world, to hear their stories and to discuss other sustainable ways I can re-purpose the rest of the fabric I have left from the dress,\" said Popik. \"I've received hundreds of suggestions, including donating to a company that re-purposes wedding gowns to make dresses for [stillborn infants], and other charitable causes. It's been really inspiring.\"
\"I hope that I can inspire other women to always do what feels right for them, even if it goes against the grain of societal expectations,\" she added. \"If even one bride re-purposes her wedding gown so that she can wear her sentimental dress while creating new special memories, I'll be happy.\"
Popik said she hopes to motivate other brides not only to \"have more fun with their bridal wardrobe\" but also to \"think more sustainably in general.\"
