One of the things we hear over and over from brides is that they want to share their wedding dress with another happy bride.  That they’d rather see it enjoyed again instead of languish in a closet forever.

So we want to do an experiment of sorts.  We want to see how many brides we can get to share the same wedding dress in 2010.  (Our goal is at least three!)

If you want to wear this wedding dress, send us an email with your name and wedding date and location.

If it fits and works with your wedding date – you can wear it for free!  We’ll ship it to you.  And even pay to have it cleaned and shipped to the next bride.  So all you have to do is look beautiful on your wedding day.

The dress measures 36 C/D in the bust.  Waist and hips are free.  It is 5′8″ in length.

Interested?  Email us and we’ll send you the details.

PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com was featured in 2 Wall Street Journal articles today! And I was thrilled to death with both.

In Christina Binkley’s article, Pre-Altared: More Used Wedding Gowns Go Back on Market, she talks about some of the stories she heard from PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com buyers and sellers.  The stories reflect what I often hear.  How brides to be are delighted to find their dream dress for less.  And how past brides are truly happy to see their gown be a part of another wedding.

Even though I’ve been running this site for over 5 years, I still love hearing these stories and feel really grateful that the site can help a bride get the dress she’s dreamed about.

In Until the Best Offer Do Us Part, Jane Hodges reviewed different wedding dress resale sites.  Unbeknownst to us (and I’m sure the other sites), the Wall Street Journal posted the same dress/description on 4 different websites.  This “mystery shopping” review concluded that “PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com provided the most qualified buyers quickly” , “the responses for the free sites were either too few in coming or nonexistent” and the responses from another paid site “seemed dubious”  and “to be looking for our bank account information.”

This article was especially gratifying to me because it validates all of the hard work I’ve put into the site over the years.

So, I sit here appreciative, happy, and thankful. And committed to making the site the best possible experience for buyers and sellers.

PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com on the CBS Early Show

PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com has over 2200 new, sample and used wedding dresses for sale at a fraction of the retail price. Here are a few more of my favorite gowns currently for sale:

I’m so excited to announce that we’ve added veils and accessories to our website!  The section officially launches today..so please stop by and take a look. It includes veils, tiaras, wraps/jackets/shawls, sashes/flowers, jewelry purses and shoes.

Accessory listings are being offered free of charge until April 30th.

We’ve also made two other important site changes.  Wedding dresses which have been reduced in price by $100 or more – will now be marked “reduced” on the thumbnail preview.  This will help you quickly see which gowns have new prices.

You’ll also see a dress counter on the top right of every page.  This will tell you how many active wedding dress listings we have any time.

Thanks for using our site.  I’d love to hear any questions, comments or suggestions you have about the new changes.
