Wedding dress Regret! help me

Chayla, on May 30, 2019 at 9:29 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6
So I bought a dress a couple of months ago, I totally loved it when I bought it! It was out of budget and I didn’t even really want to purchase a dress from the shop that I did... but I did.

The dress came in, I tried it on again... it wasn’t the same!

Im wanting to get another dress but I’d like to sell/trade this one while it is still new!

Any tips? Places I could go? Boutiques that do trades? Any advice is totally appreciated! & thank you!

    The original salon it came from may be willing to do an exchange. I see a lot of dresses on Poshmark, but I don't know how quickly it will go unless you mark it down a bit.

    You can use Stillwhite to resell it, but same as the pp said, to get it to go quickly, you'll take a financial hit probably.

    Unfortunately for me the place I bought it for has signs “all sales final!”. Which worried me then because I feared this would happen.

    I think I’m going to try poshmark. Thanks!

    You could also try eBay! Hope someone loves your dress and snags it quickly!

    It’s worth asking the shop if they’d be willing to do an exchange— they may say no but it can’t hurt to see. ...especially because — Unfortunately the second the dress leaves the store, even with tags it is no longer “new” and unlikely to sell for full value. Stillwhite and preownedweddingdresses are good sites or look in your area and see if there may be any local consignment options.

    You can definitely try to sell it.

    Is there anything you can do to make you fall for it again? I know that sounds weird of me to say that but I feel like with clothes and just things in general sometimes we can revert back to liking something simply by how we accessorize it. Like if you put a belt or put accessories on it, does it change your opinion of it? If your dress was sleek like an A line or sheath, maybe you can add a detachable skirt over it or something. These are just ideas to see if maybe you can find ways to turn it into a dress you will love.

    Good luck!
