Anyone looked into secondhand wedding dresses? Trying to save money where I can, but nervous about trusting an online seller with something so important lol

I did but mine was from TheRealReal and had a return option.
Try stillwhite or Poshmark, where if there is an issue you can get a refund/customer support

Also Facebook marketplace - you can message the seller and have them give you a few days after receiving it (especially if it’s local) to determine if you’ll keep it - they have to understand!

I got my dress off Stillwhite, used and dry cleaned (no one could tell!). I tried on the style locally and lucked out that the designer/style/someone my height with heels was selling for less than 1/3 the price.

Yes. I did (and haven't had my wedding yet). If there is a style that you like, I recommend you trying it in store first to see if it looks good on you in real life. Ask the sales associate the size you tried on and find that size online.

Plenty of new dresses on stillwhite and Poshmark for at least 50% off retail.

I am trying to sell my dress on Stillwhite and Poshmark and FB. I never used it. I bought it for $1400 and I’m down to trying to sell it for $400. You can definitely get a deal online.

I once was a CISA… I have no IT background, no IT degrees (2 ACCT degrees tho); never did/saw a shred of an IT audit/assurance work/client/OTJ training of any kind. Forced by employer to choose CISA vs CPA, CISA was way more feasible at the time. I passed 1st try. My firm had zero IT work. So all my CPE reqs lapsed, and my cert expired w/ zero resume material to show for it. I see IT Auditors paid WAY more. I’d love that! I’d re-sit. But idk my head from my ass about practical application.

Thoughts on kindly asking your bridesmaids to please not give a gift? I am over the moon excited that my bridesmaids will be celebrating me and traveling for the wedding and bachelorette. I really do not want a gift from them at the wedding. Full disclosure, my fiancé and I have great paying jobs and my bridesmaids are grad students, artists, and teachers. How would you frame this? Even if they were millionaires I would not want a gift, but I don’t want it taken the wrong way.

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

My stepmom threw me a very elaborate bridal shower. My stepsister pitched in and also did a lot of work for it. Bridesmaids helped but didn’t do a ton. What, if anything should I do for my stepmom and stepsister as a showing of gratitude? I don’t want to spend a lot of $$ but definitely want to act quickly and thoughtfully.

Help- my SIL showed me two dresses she rented for my shower, and I think they are super bridal/not very appropriate to wear as a guest or bridesmaid. I have asked others and they agree. I feel like my own outfit, a simple jumpsuit, pales in comparison to how over the top these dresses are. What can I say or do? I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.
