My dream dress is a little out of my price range. There seems to be a trend of women buying designer gowns and reselling them while they are still in season. Has anyone purchased a pre-owned wedding dress? What percentage of the retail price did you pay?

Hi there,

I am trying to sell my wedding dress but purchased it from the store - it seems like preowned dresses generally go for about 50-60% of the original price. I priced mine at $1800 when I originally paid $5100 (for the dress and accompanying sash). It is in very good condition but i am hoping to sell it faster. You can also get a sample dress for 15-40% below the original price (depending on the condition).

Here is theaddress for my dress posting - there are also many other dress posted on the site -- good luck!
