So you’ve spent a fortune on your wedding dress. Now what?
Let’s start with a staggering fact that may come as unsurprising to anyone who has gotten married: The average cost for a wedding dress in 2021 was $1,800, according to The Knot.
And lest you think that high costs mean fewer people are wearing traditional wedding dresses, the answer to that is definitely not. A whopping 99% of female-identifying survey respondents in The Knot’s wedding study said they wore a dress for their wedding.
But for those of us who are budget-conscious and realize that a wedding dress is both a beautiful memento and likely something that will sit in our closet untouched for years, there has to be a better way. Sure, a wedding dress, like a car, likely loses some value once it walks off the lot—or in this case, the bridal store.
There is an alternative to recoup at least part of the investment: We have 10 places where you can sell your wedding dress.

However, it does offer users an advanced search option that allows them to search by zip code or city if they want to pick up an item locally.
The site is best for brides who are selling dresses after 2005 and remember the style namenumber and designer of their dress.
