Where to sell bridesmaid dresses

The color of my bridesmaid dresses did not turn out to be what I had hoped.  Even after seeing a sample style and swatch, they look much different in person.  I thought about swallowing it and just dealing with it, but then decided to just rush order new ones in the color I want--maybe crazy, but worth it I hope.  So, now I have these brand new dresses, which are of course lovely and un-returnable, and have to figure out how to sell them.  Beyond the usual ebay, craigslist or consignment shops, can anyone suggest places where they have seen successful resales of bridesmaid dresses?  I'd like to try to recoup at least some of the money!  Thanks!

  • Try posting this on Wedding Classifieds here - may be the very thing another bride is looking for.
  • Bravobride is another good place to resell. Just to be sure, are you reimbursing your bridesmaids for the dresses? I'd be furious if a bride asked me to rush order a second dress at my own expense.
  • Thanks to you both--great suggestions.  No, of course I didn't make the bridesmaids pay for the reorder--it's all on me :)  That would be a horrible thing to do!  They only paid for the one dress.  At least I was able to get Dessy to agree to a super fast ship date, and got the price way down...

    Nice photo, btw.  Gorgeous dress.
  • Thanks! Glad to hear you're covering it for them. Sadly, there are a lot of brides who don't have as much sense about them...that's why I had to ask.
