Looking for advice on selling my wedding dress

  • Pollycat, just part of the general discussion on whether or not people will buy non-new wedding dresses, it's a point that could be mentioned in the advert! It's true, people will not pay high prices for a second hand dress.
    When I was looking for a particular style a few years ago, I was astonished how many people on ebay were selling pre-owned but unworn dresses. Apparently many people buy two but only wear one of them. In the end my friend paid £300 for a pre-owned but unworn dress that was very similar to the £2,000 one she really liked.
    Deal with things as they are, not as they should be.

    That makes more sense, I thought you were giving advice specifically to the OP. :)
