Second-Hand and Sample Wedding Dresses
These are dress shops built around pre-owned, sample and outlet gowns rather than made-to-order collections, so the stock changes constantly and a dress that fits and suits you might not still be there next month. Prices are the main draw, often a fraction of a made-to-order gown from the same label, but sizing is fixed rather than adjustable to a range, so alterations matter more here than anywhere else in the bridal trade. Some shops also rent rather than sell outright. Because stock turns over fast and each piece is one of one, ask whether you can put a gown on hold while you decide, and what the alteration or return policy actually covers.
