3 reasons why you should sell your wedding dress

Where’s your wedding dress? This question catches most women unexpectedly. “Was it in a box?” “Or did I just hang it in the closet?”, “The wedding, that seems ages ago.” These are some of the common replies given by married ladies when asked about their wedding dress. Most women don’t even remember where they stored their wedding dress. The few who do remember it, don’t remember the last time when they saw it. It usually occupies one corner or the closet and is in a condition of neglect. Dust, stains and tears now describe the elegant gown that was once the center of all the attraction and adulation.

The question is, ‘do you want it to be in that state forever?’

Why not give an opportunity to another less fortunate bride to wear a gown that she otherwise could never afford?

Yes, if you still haven’t thought of selling your wedding dress , then here are 3 reasons for you to sell your wedding dress.


  • Monetary gain: There is a huge market for used wedding dresses. If you can refurbish your dress (Get it cleaned, laundered and repaired), then your wedding dress can fetch a pretty good prize.

  • Cleanse your old memories: This is solely for people who have bad memories associated with their weddings. If the sight of your wedding dress brings nothing but pain, then this is one of the best ways to get rid of it.

  • Your daughter won’t wear it: There are a few ladies who dream that their daughter will wear the same wedding dress that they wore years ago and preserve it like a treasure. While this is a pretty emotional thought, chances are bleak that it will ever happen. Times are fast changing and so are fashion trends. Your daughter might turn out to be the fashion disaster of the season if she wears your dress. And, because you have preserved it so well, you might end up getting a good price for it.


So start looking for resources to sell your wedding dress today and get back some money you spent on your wedding dress.
