when women are choosing their Designer Wedding Dresses for the big day, some of them even want to purchase a preowned wedding dress. And this trend is growing popular among those trendy young women.

Caitlin O’Connor of Denver got the wedding dress of her dreams for half of what it cost at a Cherry Creek bridal store.”I loved it and it looked good and you want to look good on your wedding day.

Brides can find pre-owned, new and sample dresses at savings up to 75% below retail prices.The website’s founder, Josie Daga, said she wanted to help women who walk down the aisle avoid running up so much debt.”No one thinks it’s weird to buy a used car. And buying a pre-owned wedding dress is not that different.

Her loss was my gain,” she said.PreownedWeddingDresses.com charges $25 to list a wedding dress and requires that sellers answer a few questions describing the dress. Users can upload up to five pictures of the gown for display with the listing. Within 15 minutes, the dress becomes available for sale.
