From the Proposal to the Honeymoon
Used Wedding Dresses - Considerations
Are you considering buying a used wedding dress? A used wedding dress can certainly cut down on wedding costs, allowing you to save money on more important things, like a honeymoon or even a down payment on a house.

There are a number of places where you can buy a used wedding dress:

  • thrift shops
  • discount stores
  • online sources such as Craigslist
  • eBay
Although used wedding dresses can save you loads of money, you will have to pay particular attention to such issues as stains and sizing. If you are able to inspect the dress, do go over it very carefully. This dress was worn at a reception, which means it could have food and wine stains, as well as watermarks. And, check the bottom of the dress and train so you can detect if there are any dirt marks picked up from moving across the floor.

You will also want to pay attention to the size of the dress. If you're able to try on the dress, that's great. But, if you buy online you will have to find out if the dress had any alterations which may affect the sizing. Ask the seller the exact measurements, and if any alterations were made. If purchasing from eBay, it's always good practice to check the feedback the seller has received.
