Hey all, I didn't know what topic to list this under but basically I have been trying to sell my dress since march and I really thought it would have sold by now. how long did it take you to sell yours? I have tried some wedding dress websites to resell but they're not free and I don't want to keep...

Hey all, I didn't know what topic to list this under but basically I have been trying to sell my dress since march and I really thought it would have sold by now. how long did it take you to sell yours? I have tried some wedding dress websites to resell but they're not free and I don't want to keep posting listings and have it not sell. I have also tried facebook marketplace, letgo, offerup, etc but have had no luck. Would you just donate your dress at this point? I am selling it at about 70% cheaper than what I paid so I guess I just want some insight thanks!

    I am on the fence with this, too. I have heard people do the wine drinking on it like PP said, others preserve it. I honestly have no "want" for it. May keep it in the basement until I figure it out!

    I think I'll try to hold onto mine for potential daughters, but if no one wants it I joke that I'm going to use it to bedazzle the shit out of a denim jacket.

    I just sold my on preownedweddingdresses and it sold it less than a week, I was shocked. I thought it was take a couple months. I sold it for about 50% of what I paid for it (I didn't have it cleaned or the site said I could've listed it higher). It does have a $25 fee, but it worked out for me.

    Mine’s still hanging in my closet, complete with red wine stain. I really should get it cleaned...I was going to wear it to a Halloween party this year but I can’t quite bring myself to do that!

    Mine is hanging in the closet. I have a preservation kit but haven't taken it to be done yet. Maybe one day. Or I'll just keep it in the closet and bring it out every so often to see if it still fits haha
