That's a great question to ask — thanks for sharing!

I actually did not ask any questions. I knew the dimensions already from the j.crew site. In hindsight, I would have made sure it was coming from a smoke-free home - but luckily it did! OnceWed is another great site for used wedding dresses. I figured if this dress didn't work out, I could resell it on a site like that.

@Vanonymous Wow, it's great that it worked out for you! I've found pretty great deals on eBay as well. Did you ask the seller some questions about the dress?

I did something similar to Anon. I found the dress I wanted at JCrew (wedding line) and searched for it on Ebay in my size. I found it new with tags and paid $250 instead of $400. It's kind of a risk (b/c you can't return) but it worked out for me!

I went to David's Bridal and found the dress I wanted then I searched the internet for it cheaper. I found a bunch of options to choose from between checking out ebay, craigslist, and used brides dresses websites. I ended up scoring big time on a used dress website -- I found a dress that was never worn as the bride changed her mind last minute and got a different one! I ended up with the exact dress and size I found in the store brand new with tags still on it for about 75% off!
