Outrage was caused when Staff from David's Bridal, Boston, were seen spraying the gowns with red paint after the business went bust in December instead of donating them to charity.
In a statement the company said: "While it has been Priscilla of Boston’s policy not to make donations of sample dresses that are in poor condition, we recognize that some of these dresses could possibly have gone to worthy causes.
"David’s Bridal has already begun bringing together all of the remaining Priscilla of Boston gowns to evaluate them and ensure that they are donated to our charitable partners wherever possible."
Designer Giannakakis told The Sun Herald: "As a designer, I wouldn't want to see my dress being spray-painted against the side of a dumpster and as a human being, donate it to someone who can use it, like a military wife. Maybe with the economy they should start looking at new ways of doing things."
Pam Philipp from Operation Glass Slipper, a charity which donates dresses to low-income girls and sells donated bridal gowns at low cost to raise money for their shoes and accessories, told the paper: "It makes me so mad, they could have recycled them, they could have donated them. What makes me even madder is that I asked about that over a month ago when I found out they were closing and got no response."
