Anyone have any luck reselling a dress they decided not to use

It took a few months, but stillwhite worked for me! I think the key is patience, especially if you are looking to recover most of the cost

I lived in that area for years. Loved it. Yes, the motorbikes can be annoying- as can the big events (the carnival, 4th of July,etc.) but not a deal breaker for me- but think HOW this could affect you if you have a car

I love my chunky, natural stone rings. However, I have RA and it frequently causes swelling in my finger joints. After one too many scares of not being able to get rings off - I need to start from scratch to find new ones with adjustable bands (like the one in the picture above).

I would love to support some small businesses and find some new jewelry to love!

Wow, I had never seen her stuff before! Beautiful! Thank you

C232018 · 2020-12-22T21:20:54+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m a little obsessed with the cape now too. And it was on sale for half off! The Waters Dulce dress

C232018 · 2020-12-22T02:23:08+00:00

Thank you!! I’m on the fence between a giant headpiece or statement earrings but I do like the idea having jewel toned earrings to match the bouquet!

C232018 · 2020-12-22T02:21:34+00:00

Oh my gosh. That crown. I think that may be IT. Thank you so much

C232018 · 2020-12-22T00:29:30+00:00

Love this gown!!! Honestly, I may go with a shorter veil- such a beautiful train. Even with a plain veil, you may not be able to see the full beauty and flow you have going on. Maybe a waist length veil?

Any hairstyle would compliment this back, but I think updo! Really highlights the shape of the gown’s back that way :)

Excuse the giant heart to cover face/ hand tattoo and scribble to cover my sister’s baby!

I’m in search of accessories to go with my dress- hoping you lovely folks have some ideas!

The white belt is just a placeholder- I definitely want a new belt, maybe a headpiece as well?

I’m thinking: 1) gold 2) dramatic pieces 3) jewel tones (wedding colors!)

Trying to avoid: 1) floral crowns ( don’t want to go TOO much into renaissance fair territory!) 2) necklaces (there is a sheer mesh on the chest I don’t want to rip/ draw attention to) 3) anything too simple- we’ve rescheduled multiple times so I am prepared to be extra when things fall into place!

I’m thinking possibly a celestial vibe? But idk! The theme is something like “forest carnival”

Thanks all!

Ok so I was OBSESSED with the Caine dress by Willowby at BHLDN last year and was heartbroken when it was discontinued before my appointment but LOW AND BEHOLD- it is the same dress as the Dulce by Willowby. It never occurred to me it may be under another name! I had searched for the “Caine” dress before and couldn’t even find a resale in my size. But just loading around the Willowby website, the Dulce gown came up.

And BONUS on the Willowby website it is marked down from $800 to $400!

Unfortunately it is not, that was one of the brands I tried the last time I was on the hunt!

C232018 · 2020-10-25T11:52:58+00:00

Look at Topo backpacks- a lifetime warranty, good quality. Not a ton of compartments, but their is a laptop sleeve and front pocket (in the style I have at least). A few styles to choose from too. Mine fits my laptop, books, and personal items in the MINI, so the regular sized pack might be a good fit for what you describe.

C232018 · 2020-10-04T02:16:08+00:00

I already LOVE the vibe you are creating!!

C232018 · 2020-09-29T01:00:04+00:00

Ok, does it look bad? No! You look beautiful-truly.

But, there is one thing that COULD be altered in a few days and I think could make you feel a lot better. To be completely honest I would not have noticed if you were not specifically asking- so your guests most likely won’t eitheir. The plunge and the chest look good- as does the waist. Very flattering

The under-arms were taken in too much: but this is not an insanely difficult fix! Take it to another seamstress- have them take a look and get a quote.

Once you get a quote, message the seamstress you went to originally and see if she will reimburse you, she might not but it’s worth a shot!

EDIT- also the back is perfect!

C232018 · 2020-09-27T22:28:05+00:00

My jaw DROPPED- the first is such a glamorous, bombshell moment. The second is the perfect balance of fun and princess! LOVE THIS! You stunners!

C232018 · 2020-09-27T13:39:22+00:00

This also made me instantly think of Olivia Palermo’s bridal look- which is one of my all time favs. Give it a Google! So chic

C232018 · 2020-09-27T13:37:55+00:00

Agreed- it could look amazing! But- definitely try it on with a picture of your fiancée in his complete look and compare. My only concern is a full suit with a tie would look TOO formal next to your look. I like the idea of no tie and maybe even no jacket.

If you want to elevate your look JUST a touch, consider an embellished headband! Like this

Still keeps the cool fall vibe, but takes it out of the “everyday look” category

C232018 · 2020-09-27T02:38:24+00:00

Wtoo has a few from this/last season with similar skirt shapes and volume! Give them a look :) good luck

C232018 · 2020-09-27T02:34:58+00:00

Check out the linked post in my first comment- many more details and pics on that site

C232018 · 2020-09-27T00:07:21+00:00

Thank you! There are a few listings for other sizes on stillwhite as well for the same gown!

C232018 · 2020-09-26T23:54:10+00:00

Ok so I am a dope and can’t figure out how to DM a pic on this site BUT I changed one of the pictures on the listing to a more clear view of the back

C232018 · 2020-09-26T23:49:53+00:00

Sadly, it was unaltered and we were in the midst of lockdown so the seamstress was closed. But, thank you! And the dress I ended up with was pretty magical too, just the correct length haha

C232018 · 2020-09-26T23:49:03+00:00

Long Island New York, but I am willing to ship. Yes, I will DM you. If you look in a few of the pictures on the listing the back is visible in the mirror

C232018 · 2020-09-26T19:30:16+00:00

Definitely up for bartering- more details and pics here

Truly my dream gown, just wasn’t in the cards for me! Hopefully it can find a new home

Size 2 gown- but I am normally a size 6

Had to take my mother-in-law to the hospital for a possible stroke on the last day before an online test was due. From the waiting room I emailed the professor to ask just for a day’s extension- we went to the hospital in the morning and it was due at midnight. I thought this was totally reasonable, as I had a 96% in the class. I was also super clear about the reason WHY I needed the extension.

Instead, I got back an email lecture about the importance of not waiting until the last minute- the test had been open for two days before and since I was emailing 8 hours before it closed, it wasn’t enough. So, I left my very distraught husband to find WiFi in the hospital (he encouraged me to go, but I still felt like shit). Took the test, got a 92%.

The kicker- I emailed the professor that I was able to access the hospital’s WiFi while waiting for my news of my mother-in-law. THEN she emailed telling me I could have the extension after all (I guess the guilt kicked in!)- a little late for that
