Get your wedding dress at Oxfam!

Apologies if this has been posted before, but I've just discovered that Oxfam have some dedicated bridal shops around the country, which mostly stock brand-new dresses donated by designers. They reckon the average cost of one of their dresses is around £250. What a fab idea - hope someone finds this useful!

ive never seen one but ive heard this too

sadly for a lot of people £250 is still a lot to spend on a dress!

there is a local charity shop by me that 'specialises' is wedding dresses and theirs are slightly better priced but not incredibly fashionable!

however if you leave your size details they will call you weh a new one comes in so wroth asking! if you dont ask you dont get!!!

The Bracknell branch started off as having really old-fashioned stock, as part of their 'costumes' department, but this has flourished and I am amazed at the quality you can now get. Really beautiful dresses and huge amount to choose from.

I once did fundraising for british heart foundation in a wedding dress and veil from their stock, it was a rediculous floaty number with more beads and pearls than you could shake a stick at :rotfl: :rotfl: two friends also joined in, one in a ball gown and one as the "groom" in a tux and top hat! We raised over £1000 selling rose brooches in a local shopping centre. However, it was not the most fasionable of weding dresses! They do sometimes have the odd gorgeous one in though, it's always worth a look I occaisionally buy them to dye and use for formal wear.

The Weybridge branch of Oxfam has a pretty good wedding dress rail, although the most fashionable ones were priced upwards of £350!
