Ex-Sample and Ex-Display Wedding Dresses
Wedding dresses are one of the best-value things to buy ex-sample, since bridal shops carry gowns for brides to try and then sell them on once a new season arrives. The listings here cover designer and boutique wedding dresses cleared as samples and display stock, often at a fraction of the retail price.
A sample gown has been tried on in the shop rather than worn for a day, so condition is generally excellent, and buying this way can put a designer dress within a realistic budget. Sizes reflect the samples a shop stocked, so it is worth watching for your size.
With a wedding dress it is worth reading the listing for the exact size, the designer and style, and any alterations or marks. Most gowns can be taken in or let out by a seamstress, so allow for fitting. As each is a one-off sample, a dress you love will not be repeated. Confirm the condition and the collection or delivery terms with the seller.
