Wedding anyone with luck buying 2ndhand dresses?

[Junkenpo]

So I''ve been following and just won an e*bay auction for a simple, pretty, secondhand wedding gown. Final bid plus shipping came out to less than $100, so I figure if it turns out it''s not as pretty in real life as it is in the pictures, it''s not that big a deal. I''ll take it to a consignment shop to try and recoup some of the loss.

But... have any of you had luck with 2ndhand gowns from the ''bay or online?

Robbie got her Maggie Sottero Vincenza on ebay, and it worked out perfectly!

I also bought my Maggie Sottero Ophelia on eBay and I couldn''t have been happier with it. The girl who had it before me only wore it for a short time at her destination wedding and it was in perfect condition when I got it.

Good luck!

I swear by ebay, and if you getting a great price for it . You should take a chance. You should go to the store try the dress on then see if they have it in your size on ebay or one size bigger.

I bought about 7 off of ebay pretty cheap, but they just weren''t "the one." Only two fit somewhat decently, the others were way too large. I will sell them at a consignment shop or put them back up on ebay after all of the wedding craziness settles down a bit. I barely spent any money on them, so it wasn''t a big deal to me to give them a try...most of them were brand new, and I got them dirt cheap...we''re talkin'' 50 cents, 99 cents, $5.00...my most extravagant purchase was an Oleg Cassini for $51 and $24 shipping, so for $75 bucks, I figured I couldn''t go wrong!

I can''t wait to see how yours turns out for you, and best of luck!
