Where can I sell my bridesmaid dress?

After serving as a bridesmaid, many women sell their dresses either to brick-and-mortar consignment stores or online. Some websites simply act as middlemen, while others purchase the dresses and then attempt to sell them to women attending weddings with similar color schemes.

While many bridesmaid dresses are elaborate and formal, they are often in colors and styles that are not fashionable in any other setting. For this reason, many women look to sell them to recoup some of the significant expense that goes into buying them. It is unlikely that the sale will yield more than half of the original cost, but many women find that preferable to consigning the dress to the back of their closet.
