Not every bride wants to save her wedding dress for her daughter; you can browse the cast-offs at this superstore of bridal resale. You’ll find pre-worn dresses of all eras, from vintage gowns of the ‘30s to recently worn top-name designers. Appointments are required, but once you’re in the door, you’ll have a lot more freedom to browse the racks than you would at a traditional bridal salon. The back room is stuffed with gowns, and the owner is happy to let you explore or point you to dresses that match your taste. Bear in mind, though: If you find a dress you like, you’d better buy it now. A consigned gown is basically one-of-a-kind, and when it’s gone, it’s gone.
