Would You Buy a Worn Wedding Dress on eBay?

May 17 2008 - 1:11pm

What if I told you that you could get that $2,000 wedding dress [1] of your dreams for a fraction of the price? Naturally, its been worn once on someone else's most special day and it's coming to you via eBay [2]?

Before you cringe, it should be noted that there is a plethora of gently worn wedding dresses on eBay, including ones designed by Vera Wang [3] and Monique Lhuillier [4], and think about this: When you buy vintage, those pieces have usually been worn over and over and over again, and you still jump at them, whereas a wedding dress has been worn (hopefully) just once. When you consider how overpriced gowns are - because brides will pay the prices - isn't it kind of a blow to the heart of the wedding industry?

Truthfully, I don't know what I'd do, but I have to say: I'd be awfully tempted if I found the perfect dress for half the price on eBay. How do you feel about it? Leave your answer below and be sure to see more wedding coverage on I Do Sugar [4]!
