ISO Pre Loved MOB Outfit/ Dress

[MomGran]

Hi, I hope it is ok to post here. I am a mother of the bride, Summer wedding this year. Ireland. Any dress I have really liked seems to be in the €500 + bracket.. adding shoes etc and I can't see much change out of €700.. Hoping you lovely folk can direct me to a pre-loved section/ give me some ideas. Thanks in advance,

What is your budget?

And clothing size, and height?

And what’s the wedding context - grand and dressy or small and relaxed? Mostly indoors or outside? Etc.

Have you looked on Vinted and eBay?

As well as budget what sort of dresses did you like? Are you after dresses marketed as M of B or just a fabulous dress?

have a look at vestiaire. Search for unworn items that still have the tag. Not a lot of selection, but some really good stuff (e.g. I bought a new zimmermann dress for £70)

Why would someone sell a new Zimmermann dress for so little??

(I’ve bought from Vestiaire myself but not at that sort of markdown.)

Because possibly

(a) it isn't "new". Brands like Zimmerman attach the labels with cute bits of string or ribbon or little safety pins. If you want to, it would be easy to reattach.

(b)It's fake.

(c )It's stolen.
