Saving money on a consigment wedding dress
Getting married? Want a designer dress that is priced way over your budget? How about buying a used wedding dress at 50% of retail prices?
Consignment wedding dresses give you the best of two worlds, the low price and a dress that looks as good as new. Consignment shops specialize in selling clothes on behalf of the owner, charging a small fee if they are successful. They also take care of quality control, and if you find a really good shop you can be certain the dress is in top condition.
Prices for wedding dresses at a consignment shop ranges from 50%-60% off retail prices, depending on the age and condition of the dress, so you can really make a bargain if you go this route. Many of the shops also have a return policy, giving you’re the right to return the dress if you are not satisfied or if you discover a fault. Be sure to read the fine print, because terms vary between shops.
You can also try to buy a wedding dress online trough an Internet based consignment shop. You will probably be able to knock off even more from the price, as these shops have lower overhead. However, with an online shop it is even more important to check that they have a return policy, since you won’t be able to try the dress beforehand.
