Sad to think your article prompted this thought. But with divorce rates the way they are, it's not surprising that pre-owned wedding dresses is a profitable business. Lovely dresses. Sharing this via Pinterest.
Hi Katie,
Yes I agree, I mean, these wedding dresses have only usually been worn once so they're practically brand new. But when you look at the prices you can see that there's a massive saving to be made. I actually hadn't thought about it from the perspective of those selling their wedding dress, certainly one way to recoup some of the money that's been spent.
This is a great idea, those willing to sell their wedding gowns and dresses no doubt need or would like to make a little money from the dress they spent a large sum on. This is a great way to get a pricey wedding dress for a mere fraction of the cost.
Thank you! I got married in a suit (knee length skirt) As lovely as they are, I suppose some women just don't want the big dress. Especially if they just want a low key affair. :)
There are some beautiful wedding dresses here. I really liked the one you led with. I don't tend to think of wedding dresses as short, but that has changed my mind. Stunning!
