    So I am buying a Pronovias dress that is a little out of my price range. Is it bad to sell it on ebay after the wedding? I just don't think I will want it anymore and I would love for someone else to be able to use it.

    Lots of people sell their dresses after the wedding! Definitely no big deal - go for it!

    I'm trying to sell my wedding dress! There is definitely wrong with selling it after, in my opinion.

    There are a few websites for exactly that reason. Just google search pre-owned wedding gowns, and you'll be on your way.

    Craigslist also.  I have bought a ton of things for our wedding on there.

    i bought my dress from another bride on wedding bee. I think its great for another bride to purchase a dress that maybe that they cant afford and both people are happy in the end

    I noticed that Ebay dresses don't seem to sell well, it seems the people price them too high, but I sold my first dress I bought and then changed my mind about on preownedwedding dresses.com. I never even wore it, so you can sell it and get some good amount of money back.

    I think that's fine :-). I'd suggest a wedding gown site, though. As a bride who shopped online for my dress, I had trouble finding what I wanted on ebay so ended up mainly looking at the classifieds here and at preownedweddingdresses.com, so I'd recommend those two

    I also bought my dress used, but I'd suggest Once Wed and the WeddingBee classifieds. I felt much more comfortable buying it that way.

    I browsed Kijiji for a couple months looking for dresses in the town I live.  Unfortunatly, the one I liked did not fit.  I have since bought a new dress but was totally open to buying a used one. I might try selling mine in the future.
