Selling your wedding gowns

I haven't been on here in a long while but I've been trying to sell my wedding dress for the past little while and am not having any luck. I've got it posted in Craigslist and on Oncewed.com. All of the responses I'm getting back from CL seem like scams and I've heard nothing from Oncewed.com

 Have any of you sold your dress or have any better advice for where to post it, etc?

Re: Selling your wedding gowns

  • I sold mine to Blue Sky Bridal and had a really good experience. I think a few other nesties have too.

    I dropped off my dress, we agreed on a price and my dress sold in about 3 weeks and a week later I got a check in the mail for $400. 

  • Thank you for the reply!

    This is what I did with mine too, based on UW's rec. Mine took about two months to sell.

    I threw mine in the dumpster when we moved out here. LOL. About 4 months after our wedding we did TTD pictures in a very empty ocean city, maryland. Between the yuck on the boardwalk, the sand, and the salt water, it was trashed. To make matters worse I forgot about it in the trunch of DH's car and it got moldy. I got some sweet pictures from it though.

  • oh and judging by my sig, i've obv done a TTD session as well. i love-love-loved that and think it was more worth it than selling the dress. i love my TTD pictures more than i love my wedding pictures.

    after my TTD, i had the dress in the bath tub....it's now sitting crumpled up in a ball in the corner of our man-cave. i don't know what i'm going to do with it.

    Yeah I got divorced so I'm not really attached to my dress in any way and am not interested in any other pictures of it. I love it and think it's beautiful but I think it would better serve someone else than just sitting in my closet.
