Finding a Used Wedding Dress

By

metroplex

I live in Houston, TX, USA and there are several stores called 'Baubles and Beads" and I've seen beautiful wedding gowns there, as well as evening gowns, fur coats, regular clothes, designer clothes, designer handbags, shoes, sandals, boots, and so much more. They don't accept junky clothes, but you might find some pilling or fading on the clothes.

There's a place here where you can rent (!) designer gowns and clothing. I don't know if they have wedding gowns, but it's worth a shot.
it's called Rental Couture; www.rentalcouture.com; 713-523-4954.

There's a resale shop magazine called 'Resale Houson Magazine; www.resalehouston.com.

Also, try using Google or your local White/Yellow pages under 'resale shops'.

Resale shops are the very first and practically only place I shop now. I get beautifully made clothing at really inexpensive prices. When I do go to department stores, I usually walk out empty handed because I know I can buy better made and cheaper clothing at the resale shops.

Congratulations and best of luck to you both.

I have a used wedding gown..actually it was never used and still has the tags on it and matching purse. I purchased it for $599 and the chrinolin for $60. It's in PERFECT condition and also comes with ring pillow (as well as purse and chrinolin) if you'd like to purchase from me. I'm selling for $295. If so, you can email me at keescott AT hotmail.com. Thanks! Congrats on the wedding!

I'm selling my dress. A strapless organza gown highlighted with alencon lace throughout. The bodice is featured with Swarovski crystal and the bust line is accented with an elegant style of vertical organza pleats. This beautiful new generation mermaid gown is complemented by a corset back and Cathedral train and a fringed edge all around the scalloped edge of this lovely gown. I purchased this dress for $1300, but I will sell it for only $1000. I also purchased a custom made bolero for the dress for $250, but I will sell it with the dress for $100. I will also throw in my custom made veil for only $25. This is a BEAUTIFUL dress made by private label. I wore it once but the dress, bolero, and veil are all in perfect condition! Size 8. Email me for pictures at jenniems31 AT yahoo.com.

Here's another vote for PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com. I bought a Melissa Sweet dress from the nicest woman. The dress fit perfectly - and I saved over $2000. I highly recommend it!

http://www.preownedweddingdresses.com has by far the largest selection of new and used wedding dresses. They even have some sample wedding gowns. You're sure to find something there. They have gowns from $100 up to the really high end stuff. Good luck.

Hi,

I thought I'd mention a new website I started which is an online bridal gown consignment store which is free to buyers and sellers. The idea is along the lines of craigslist, but custom tailored to brides. I thought you might be interested in checking it out. It's www.smartbride.net. It's really new, so we're just populating with dresses at this time.

:-)

I just found a brand new Website called TheDressList.com that has used wedding dresses. The listings are local so you should be able to try dresses on.

Just saw a new site: bridalswap.net. You could get a gown by swapping for something else or buy it on that site. I checked out ebay but there are so many dresses there I got dizzy looking!

A good site I found is www.bridalgownsused.com They have very ineqpensive gowns at really cheap prices. Also, everything is clean so you don't have to pay to have the gown dry cleaned.
