Bride Gets A Second Chance To Buy Her Dream Dress! | Second Chance Dresses 

Gaby Born and it fit perfectly

That's the resale market for you. Like cars, a lot of stuff drops in value just from it leaving the parking lot. I'd say most of the time you resell something you should expect to *start* at 50% retail price and get haggled down from there depending on condition, etc.

Most people over value their items.

Resale of technology dropping makes sense because they’re always coming out with new versions/models - clothing doesn’t really shift in anyway so much especially in like new/unworn condition I feel like her asking price wasn’t too bad

@@ChiMayMoo But there are less buyer for used dresses. The most bride prefer bridal shops where they can try different dresses on and not a private sale.

I think the seller of the first dress actually priced it to cheap, considering it was unworn

@@Gazzaxxo that is not accurate actually. Worn or not, it could be season's behind. Which can and absolutely will effect the price. Season changes matter. The only way that or any wedding dress is holding its value is if it is name brand, hello Vera Wang, or you have kept it until it becomes vintage. Even then you better hope it is vintage name brand or timeless and extremely well cared for.

@@Gazzaxxo Yeah...good luck selling a car you drove home for a few km for the price of a new car. It just doesn't work like that.

When menopause hits!

I wish I had decided exactly that!! Wedding day was a 39c day and damn the meringue type dress I’d chosen meant I sweltered all day!! I was not comfortable at all!! The dress was $1300

@hello kitty that's what i thought as well...

Michelle Louise people with money

@hello kitty whoa, swerve bit@h. You don't know. I bought 3 prom dresses but only wore one. Women do this stuff all the time but to call someone you don't even know a liar? Super classy (deep sarcasm).

But she didn’t have enough money to buy it!!

Had the seller been more reasonable, I think she would have done it.

The dress she bought cost 800 plus alterations, Nicole's dress was 750 and fit perfectly. She could've afforded it, she just didn't want it.

@@hanaj The seller wasn't unreasonable. The dress was brand new and fit perfectly. It was within the bride's budget. The bride just didn't want it.

It just needed to fit her better, it was too big and therefor looked amiss, but im sure with alterations it would have looked better. It was a nicer colour and better lace.

Marcia Nolan this show has taught me a lot. Vendors anticipate that you spend your very last dime to get married. If you have a budget, stick to it.

Lol the dress I tried on was 899 in the shop looked on Ebay and brand new was 175 sometimes you gotta save money

Not everyone has a huge wallet. More like hopeful, not cheap.

You don't go looking for second-hand dresses just to save a couple hundred off the store price. Nobody is ever going to give you full price what you paid even if you literally walk out the shop and sell it to the person standing next to you in the parking lot.

@@jodieharris2476 LOL I did the same thing but in reverse, found a dress on ebay for $125, did a google image search and found it in a bridal salon so I could try it on first. It was $900 in store and the one I got on ebay fit perfectly.

Most wedding dress shops will sell brand new wedding dresses off the shop floor price as they need space for new designers to come in. My sister got her brand new wedding dress for £700 off the shop floor when it was originally £1,300 as they needed more space

I found a custom made, never worn wedding dress at a second hand shop for $100. Dresses can be found out there! I went to the shop on a whim and there it was!

Yes you are correct. The bride in the unworn dress is not reasonable. But it is her dress also the seller needs to realize she has one dress in one size and style. Good luck in finding cinderella

Did she say it because she believed it or because she wanted it to be true? I was in a similar situation, where I was in love with a dress but held off due to indecisiveness( budget wasnt even an issue). Was it the prettiest? No . Was it the most practical? Also no. But I was, and still am in with it. I spent a lot of time convincing myself it wasnt that great because they refused to hold it and I was sure they were going to sell it to someone else. In retrospect, i really should have taken that as a sign it was the one, but hey. You live and you learn. I got lucky. I can understand where she is coming from, even if it isnt logical

Same.

Me to

I agree but I think with her figure the second one looks better on her specifically.

Me too .. maybe cause the other one was too big but the first one was perfect .. to me the one she picked had too much lace and looked to heavy for her body type

Me too.

Like many said. Once out of the store it is used and the price or value crashes faster than Donald Trump says stupid things. Besides dress shops have sake and give far bigger discount. Got a Demetrius wedding dress wort around 1400 for 100 brand new at a major salon not from someone shabby chic or farmhouse inspired suburban home

And fit like a glove! No alterations needed! I preferred it, think she’s a bit mad to not have gone for that one :P

It's not basically new, it WAS brand new!!! She never ended up wearing it for her wedding. The buyer was a bit ridiculous & a tad too ambitious when asking her to lower her already cheap asking price for a BRAND NEW NEVER WORN wedding dress. But at the end of the day, I'm so happy the bride ended up w her dream dress!!! That's so awesome! 🖤💯💍👰💒

One can always ask, but one will very, very rarely get that price.

So what if it is new second hand is still second hand. You can’t expect selling price to half the cost price . That’s how it works.

I mean it is either sell it or not. Resale wedding gowns are hard to sell whether brand new or not. Either get rid of it, keep it, or spend more time selling it. Plus she found a bride who is willing and who the dress fits. I would start any brand new dress at 50% off once it leaves the store. Bridal brick and mortal retail value is x2-2.5%. Meaning bridal shops buy the dress at half price retail and sell at retail to make profit. Seller isn't the brick and mortar store. People must understand this to under the buyer. This is why I don't think it is an insult.

Marie anne I have a feeling you have not gotten married or struggled with money if you think they’re just simple cheap skates

They new the budget

Hi 👋

megalopolis2015 ,,how are you dear friend where are you from,,can we talk please

@@harbanslal3941 Just posting things few people see. Same old same old. Hope you are well.

megalopolis2015 ,,Hello I want to talk with you personally ,,please give me your time

And the alterations are gonna be huge and that doesn't come cheap.

To me, the dress isn't that important. Heck, the wedding itself is not important. The marriage and being with the one you love is way more valuable than a nice dress and an expensive ceremony. My fiance and I haven't set a date yet, but I've already picked my dress. It's not even a wedding dress, but it suits me to a T and my fiance doesn't care what I wear. "Feeling perfect" shouldn't be reflected in clothing. Every person is already perfect, but most don't realize it. Picking out a dress should be fun and not stressful. If a girl finds herself stressing out too much about finding "the one", she needs to take a step back and reconsider what's really important.

Midnight Sonnet agreed. I spent like $300 on my dress. Picking it out was not stressful at all. I went with my sister in law and it was the first one I tried one. I didn’t see any reason to spend a fortune on it. Considering the fact I wore it for like 5 hours and then it’s been it a box in my closet for the last 13 years. The marriage is so much more important then the wedding.

@@MidnightSonnet Shut up, hypocrite. You've just said that the dress you're planning on wearing "fits you to a T" and you're lecturing people for also wanting a perfect dress? Get off your high horse.

@@52hello25hahahaha... love it!

@@52hello25 i think what she meant by that is that it fits and looks good VERSUS when women look for their wedding dress they want that omg factor. So i understand what she meant. It's like when buying a dessert. There's the "omfg it's so yummy and i really want that dessert!" Versus "this dessert is good idc for a more fancy and expensive dessert. As long as its editable and good." I hope my explanation makes sense. Which is why i think she meant that marriage and the love of the life is more important. As in instead of over emphasizing on "the dress" which a lot of people do. It's like those post where women are complaining about their engagement rings instead of appreciating the meaning behind it.

Hello 👋

Also I would have to say the first dress was prettier anyway. She made a big mistake

Hi 👋 celisse how are you

She got the dress that needed altering. It was the wild card dress

Right!!!! lol

Yes…I hope she doesn’t mean it for real!

Yes, you are absolutely correct I agree with you 👍,how are you Ygor cortes

I can tell it's a mess

Its so baggy. The shoulders. The illusion in the bag is hanging off her. The waist it way too big on her as well

The dress she chose is baggy on her, definitely does need to be taken in.

Compare it to the first dress that fitted her like a glove and showed her fighter, you can defiantly tell the other dress doesn’t fit her properly

Yeah, I dont see that too big either.

with the alterations and everything the costs will most likely end up being closer to what was in the store, so i don't get why she chose that one, could have gone and gotten a new one that fits

I think you look naturally beautiful. No work needed

Gaby Born That is really nice of you to say, you made my day. Idk what you look like but I bet you are wonderful looking lol.

Hi 👋 how are you dear friend

A one day wonder...then her dress will be a distant memory for all the guests.. but she will have her photo album ... and hate the dress after a few years! ( fashions change!)
