About

PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com has been connecting buyers and sellers of designer wedding dresses since 2004. We can help you find the dress of your dreams for less🙌🏻 or help you give your wedding gown a second Big Day with another happy bride🥰.

Our marketplace currently features thousands of wedding dresses for sale, with advanced search features enabling a search by (any or all) designer, keyword, price, neckline, silhouette, size, dress height and location. Dresses are available in all sizes and price points!

Berta, Inbal Dror, Hayley Paige, Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier, Lazaro, Jim Hjelm, Maggie Sottero, Allure, Casablanca, David's Bridal and more than 500 other designers. Your dream dress is waiting (at a price that will amaze you!)

We also have bridesmaids, mother's dresses, flower girl dresses and accessories. Something for your entire wedding party🙌🏻.

In October of 2022, we relaunched our brand new marketplace!

Some of the big changes we made are:

  • Secure payment processing
    Sellers and buyers let us know that they didn’t like working with PayPal, and that they wanted to be better protected during their transactions, so we’ve decided to take care of this ourselves. We handle the payment, including processing fees, to help ensure a smooth and secure transaction.
  • Pay over time using Affirm
    The gold standard for digital “buy now, pay later” financing, we’ve partnered with Affirm to make wedding dresses accessible to even more brides! With Affirm, buyers can finance their purchase over time and sellers get paid upfront.
  • Simplified prepaid and insured shipping
    Fully insured to and from US based sellers, our shipments are fully insured and require a signature to be received. Buy a box (or use on from home), print the prepaid UPS label we provide you and drop the dress off for shipping. Easy!
  • A more secure bridal marketplace
    We’ve invested in creating a secure platform that sellers and buyers can trust, including a secure buyer-to-seller chat system that is private to the public but visible to our support team. Send pictures and videos or organize a video call!
  • Improved customer support

    Our team has intimate knowledge of the bridalwear industry and is ready to assist you should a complication arise during your sale. From fine-tuning your listing (to help your dress sell faster) to mediating a conflict should one come up, we're offering an additional layer of dispute protection, where PayPal’s lack of expertise and experience in the bridal space meant that both parties were unhappy.

    Our dedicated team is here to assist from listed, to sold, to shipped, to newly-loved💜

Best Experience

Very quick, personal responses to any inquiry I had. Preownedweddingdresses exceeded my expectations throughout my entire buying experience. They assured my dress was delivered within my very limited timing. I work full time and we have 2 littles under 3; my off time is very limited. So, I truly appreciate the attention paid and enjoyed a most wondrous day with my husband. Thank you!!

Easy way to make someone else's day!

I'm a big proponent of secondhand, sustainable shopping and found my wedding dress at a bridal consignment shop. It was important for me that after I was done enjoying my dress, someone else could do the same. POWD was easy to use, gave great suggestions on how to promote the dress accurately and positively, and was very fair for profit-sharing. The website was easy to navigate and POWD gives step-by-step instructions on how to complete your sale and ensure everyone (both seller and buyer) are protected. Would definitely recommend!

Incredible Experience with Ivory & White through POWD!

Could not have had a better experience finding my dress from Ivory & White via POWD! I had gone to 3 different boutiques in person after getting engaged, including Kleinfeld, and knew exactly what I wanted but somehow had not come across it yet.

In my dream world, I would be wearing a Monique Lhuillier strapless chantilly lace fit and flare gown, and as luck would have it, I&W had 2 sample gowns available that were just that. I had no idea how purchasing or returns worked, so I actually called the boutique (more than once lol) and was greeted by the most helpful ladies who gave me all the assurance I needed.

I ordered both dresses, willing to eat the cost of shipping/returns if it didn't work out, and boy am I glad I did. Initially, I was a little bummed that I wouldn't get the traditional "saying yes to the dress" moment as you would in a boutique, but what I hadn't expected was that this experience would be even better.

When they arrived, I Facetimed my mom simply to show her the gowns on their hangers, as I was planning to try on at a tailor the next day, but she convinced me to try them on then and there. I tried on the first one and although beautiful, we had some reservations. When I tried on the second one, we knew. This was the one. It was so special having this moment with just my mom, no sales associates or other brides around, even if it were through Facetime. I then added my best friend to the Facetime and surprised her by having the gown on when she answered, and we all cried happy tears while saying yes, all through my phone, and I wouldn't change it for the world!

I was able to get my dream dress for 1/4 of my original budget, and unexpectedly had the most special experience with my closest ladies by choosing to go this route to find my dress. If you're hesitant, I say go for it! As long as the seller offers returns, there is not harm in seeing if the gown you found could be the one you've been searching for.
