A decade ago wearing a second-hand, or "pre-loved" wedding dresses for sale would have been unheard of. But in the last few years the number of wedding dresses for sale through online stores like savvybrides.com.au or through websites like eBay, has soared.

Wedding Dresses For Sale: Who Will You Be Buying From?

Gone is the tradition of storing your wedding dress in the back cupboard for decades as an expensive keepsake of your special day, or so that your daughter can wear it on her wedding day or cut it into a christening gown. Forget sentimentality, today it’s about practicality. And for many women it is more practical to preserve wedding photos and wedding videos as keepsakes, rather than a costly wedding gown that can be sold to recover some of the original expense.

That is why so many women are opting to sell their wedding dress online. Websites such as smartbride.com.au and Recycled Bride, which describe themselves as "free online marketplaces for buying and selling wedding dresses", provide the perfect solution for these women to find wedding dresses for sale from brides who once loved them.
