I cracked up while watching the Obsessed With The Dress videos. It is so true, I have friends who are keeping their wedding dresses, for what purpose? Will they if lucky enough to still fit wear them again at another one of their weddings? (Nice positive outlook for the marriage) I had one person say they were keeping it for their daughter- What makes them think their daughter wants or can even fit into their wedding dress? Don’t get me wrong, I love vintage wedding dresses, I loved my mothers wedding dress, but the reality, my mother was a size 6 and 5’7, I am at any one time size 10-12 and 5’11.
So what you paid all this money? Why not recoup it back and let others enjoy your magic moment with you by re-selling or letting your wedding dress get reused in an eco-friendly, sustainable way, saving green in your pocketbook as well as the environment.

Buying a secondhand wedding dress is not only a green option but also a great way to save money. There are not many of us that can afford to buy a wedding dress for a few thousand and even a few hundred is a lot of money.
You can even buy great wedding dresses in charity shops, Oxfam have wedding dress shops now.
dress shops that can customize the type of fabric and dress laytout are the best ::
