Need Dress help (20)

MrsCombs0728 · June 2012

So, i have bought a casual dress i was going to wear for my wedding, but then i was thinking, im only doing this once, i should have a beautiful dress that makes me feel beautiful. Problem is,i have NO money left in my budget, maybe 100$ if i scrape. Doesn ANYONE have a dress they dont need to keep around or will be willing to sell? I just want to feel pretty on my wedding day.

Check out the wedding classifieds in the blue column to the left. They have lots of stuff there. There are also tons of used bridal shops online (others can tell you more about them than me...)

there are lots of used dress sites (see below). You also may able to get a David's Bridal dress. If you buy it new, they are still going to be more than 100 though. You are going to have to get closer to $200.00, and then be prepared to pay for some alterations.

Here are a couple of budget friendly DB dresses:

I'm selling a brand new size 20 Mori Lee dress that I bought at a sample sale about 2 weeks ago, but I can't let it go for that price (dress was originally $815.00). I'm selling it for $325.00... I'd take a little less, but can't go as low as $100.00

Here is the dress I'm selling...

And, here are some links to used dress sites:

recycledbride.com
oncewed.com
preownedweddingdresses.com

i was going to suggest recycledbride.com as well....

Also a few more details -
what style - there are so many diff ones out there that even a 5k wedding dress might not be the "one" for you

when is the wedding? mine is in October and i kind of want to be the first one to use my dress - also shipping would be a large costs

You might be out of money but is there someone you can ask - I understand that everyone's situation is different- in my case i am paying for everything myself - sadly my guy has been out of work and his current job pays him dirt - but i want my day my way and i have been saving - but my parents did offer to give me my wedding gift early if i needed it- i turned them down but it is worth bringing the topic up if you can - money is never esy to talk about

Your local board might be able to help too - by me there is a local large store that carries so many lines - but they also have a sister store downtown where they send there old samples dresses ranged for 100-800 but you might want to call some of your local shops and see if they have something similar

and i am sure new dress, current dress, jeans and a T - you will still be gorgeous

You could try looking at white bridesmaids dresses.

Also try ebay or craigslist.

This is going to sound crazy, but a very good friend of mine bought two wedding dresses from GoodWill for $40, spent $100 on having the two made into one and turned it into an amazing dress. Just a suggestion...

I have a tea length dress that I wore just for my reception, I am asking $100 for it but I can work with you if you like it, email me at tiffaniederosiabornt@gmail.com
