    I've looked at Craigslist and ebay. But on ebay, there are a ton of chinese "dressmakers" on there. If you're going to look, choose the "closest to your location" option on the right side of the top of the list. Not sure if that's exactly how it's worded, but it will weed out the Chinese sites, or at least put them closer to the bottom.

    Go for it - just ask to be able to try it on first, and try to meet in a public place since you never know about the crazies

    I plan on trying yo sell my dress on craigslist after the wedding, I don't need it yo be sized so that's a bonus for the new buyer. I would ask before you get too far what kind of alterations have been done, some dresses can only be taken in so much. Good luck!!!

    As with anything you purchase on Craigslist,

    see it or try it on first.

    bring a buddy.

    meet in a public place.

    cash only.

    I hope you like it! $200 sounds like a great deal for a dress!

    Go for it but follow Micachoo's guidelines!

    If you're buying from eBay, don't forget to ask A LOT of questions.. I sold my dress on eBay - I tried to address every question & detail possible when selling my dress. (How long was it worn for? Has it been cleaned? Are there any holes or tears? What alterations have been completed? How tall was the bride on wedding day? etc.)
