What is the best way to sell your wedding dress after the celebration? First, let's decide on a question that worries many girls - is it possible to sell a wedding dress after a wedding and wedding? There are many superstitions and signs that prohibit the sale of a wedding dress.

It's amazing how adults can believe in such tales that a wedding dress has some healing power and can replace treatment if someone gets sick in the house! Similar beliefs exist regarding bathing shirts at holy springs. In fact, neither the wedding dress nor the shirts from the source have any healing power. If we consider the mystical impact - all power lies in our faith.

Therefore, you can safely sell a dress and all wedding accessories, including a veil. Selling wedding items does not deprive us of family happiness. Well-being and love leave the family for completely different reasons.

Sell ​​via Avito

The easiest option is to sell a dress through Avito. It is enough to create an ad, post a few photos and wait for calls. If you are lucky, you will immediately sell the dress, but if not, you can sell it for a very long time. Personally, I do not like to host different strangers at home, but I will have to receive it at home. You won't be able to meet at the bus stop or in the park, because the customer will want to not only carefully study the wedding dress, but also try it on.

It may happen that a girl tries on and says - I'll think about it and then call. Then another will come, she will also try on and think. All this takes time and is not always pleasant, especially if they voice shortcomings and ask you to drop the price, because this applies to your wedding dress!


A real princess dress after the wedding can sell for even more than the original price, but if you are not a princess, your outfit will lose much in value. The sale for 50% of the cost will be a fabulous success, but in general you have to accept the loss of money and even count on a third or a quarter of the original cost. Think for yourself, would you pay more for a dress in which another bride celebrated her holiday?

All of the above applies to dresses in excellent condition, which are free of stains, clues, cigarette marks and other defects. Selling an outfit with various defects and losses will only bring you disappointment and wasted time.

In addition, the initial cost of the outfit must be taken into account. If you bought a wedding dress for 150,000 rubles, do not even think to get 75,000 or 50,000 for it. For that kind of money, many new beautiful dresses are sold. Therefore, your losses will be much more than 50-70% of the initial price.

Rent out the dress several times

If you like talking to different people, you can try renting the dress yourself. You can search for potential clients through Avito and offer two options at once - selling a dress and renting it. If you agree on a rental, you will need to take a deposit and discuss all the nuances. For example, if the dress is damaged or even stained, the deposit will not be refunded.

To rent a dress, it is advisable to conclude a lease agreement wedding dress... There are ready-made samples on the Internet, they can be downloaded, reviewed and filled out. Signing an agreement may seem like a waste of time, but on the other hand, you can negotiate all the conditions in detail, so that later there would be no misunderstandings and conflicts.

Sell ​​to bridal salon

You can choose a free day and arrange a walk through the wedding salons, where you can show photos from the celebration and offer to buy this dress from you. You have to go to the salons with photos in good quality, do not think to call on the phone, they will immediately refuse you everywhere.The likelihood of selling to a salon is small, but if your dress is very beautiful, in excellent condition, has a popular size, and you are ready to sell it for 25% of the original cost, there is a chance to negotiate.

You don't have to worry about how the bridal salon does with this dress. It is possible they will clean up and put it up for sale as brand new at the original price. Perhaps they use it to decorate a window or sell it with some markdown, the main thing is that you received your money and attached a dress.

Especially prudent brides can, even when buying a dress in the salon, agree in advance that after the wedding they will return the dress back for a certain cost, if there are no losses on the dress. It is far from always possible to agree so, but you can try.




Selling an Elie Saab wedding dress is no easy feat. If you are ready to give it for 5% of the cost, there will be buyers, but if you want to get more, you will have to look. In this case, you should go to ebay and sell there, but selling an expensive wedding dress without trying it on is a very dubious undertaking. Therefore, it is better to sell in your city and nearby regions, placing your ad over and over again.

You can wait 10-15 or 20 years, the Elie Saab dress will acquire the status of vintage and then it can be given to the collection of a museum or a fashion historian. In this case, you will not be offered substantial money, but the dress will be on display, where it will be protected and demonstrated as a museum piece.

In conclusion, it is worth considering the last option - not to sell at all. If you live in a house or a spacious apartment, is there really no room for a wedding dress? Some girls keep wedding dresses and outfits from the prom, sometimes arrange photo shoots in them or give them to their girlfriends in order to feel like a princess or queen for one evening.
