Website for used bridesmaid dresses

Lyn, on April 15, 2017 at 12:11 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 15

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone knew of a site that sold used bridesmaid dresses. My daughter is getting married at the end of Sept, so I just paid over $200 for my mother of the bride dress. At the beginning of Sept, I am going to be a bridesmaid in my friends wedding, she has picked hothouse dresses for us, however they are almost $200, and I just can't really afford to spend another $200. The dress she's wanting us to get is the Mori Lee 20481, in Pink/Blush. Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated!!!

    You could try selling them as prom dresses if you're having trouble finding somewhere to sell them specifically as bridesmaids dresses.

    Gracelyn she's asking where to buy a used bridesmaid dress, not where to sell one.

    Maybe try Facebook wedding groups, or preownedweddingdresses.com (not sure if they have a bridesmaid section).

    Thank you for the suggestions.

    In response to Alyssachu, no she did not ask about budget in advance, however we've been friends for 10 years. She's well aware of my financial struggle, as a single mother of two. I think it's great, that you do not think $200 is expensive. However, I do. My daughters dress, I paid $40 down, and $20 a month until I paid it off. It took me 9 months to pay it off. I do not have the luxury to that that with the bridesmaid dress, due to her just now picking what dress she wanted us to wear. I was simply asking for suggestions; not condescending remarks.

    Is it a fairly new dress? Maybe you can call a few local shops and see if it is discounted or on a sale?

    Oooook. Alyssachu wasn't being condescending- you should've let your friend know your budget. Just because she's aware of your financial obligations doesn't mean she knows what you can spend on a dress.

    Hey Julie, i don't know of any sites like that BUT are the bridesmaids required to wear that exact dress?

    If not, maybe check out amazon. You can find a lot of gorgeous dresses for $30-$50.

    Sorry for reacting like I did. I have been extremely upset of this. Yes, we are required to wear the same dress. I have called around to local shops, all of them are giving me the same price. When I say she's my friend, she's my best friend. I promise you, she knows my situation. We talked about the expense of the dress, just last night. As much as I hate to, I'm going to have to back out of being a BM. Thank you everyone for the suggestions,

    Also, I want to point out that there were no $$ conversations before she picked the dress, because I was unaware that I would be responsible for purchasing the dress. My daughter bought all of the dresses for wedding party. I have never had a wedding, or been in one, so I was oblivious to all of it.

    I've been checking Poshmark, but no luck. Found one on eBay, for $90, but it's the wrong color. Sigh

    Https://www.preownedweddingdresses.com

    This website also has a bridal party section with bridesmaid dresses and flower girl dresses.

    I'm also looking for a used bridesmaid dress for a wedding I'm in this September. I've been checking eBay, tradesy, preownedweddingdresses.com, and poshmark on a regular basis. You can also try googling "used bridesmaid dresses" and several sites come up, but the ones I mentioned seemed to add new dresses the most. Good luck!
