For most brides, preserving the dress for future generations is a no-brainer decision. But there are also those who have no qualms about parting with their wedding gowns for another bride to wear. It is not that these maverick brides don’t place any sentimental value on their dress. They just wanted other women to experience the same immense joy of wearing their fabulous gowns while walking down the aisle.
A survey by PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com, a website dedicated to helping women sell their bridal gowns, shows that this is a strong sentiment among new brides. Of the 2,766 women who participated in the online survey, 87 percent said they would "definitely" or "maybe" sell their gown. From this group, 30 percent explained they would do so because they want other brides to enjoy their dresses. The other reasons for selling their gowns cited by the respondents are:
- They want/need the money (26 percent);
- They have no good reason to keep the dress (19 percent); and
- The gown takes up too much space to justify keeping it (11 percent).

While selling a wedding dress was certainly unheard of (and considered bad luck) in the past, the results of the survey by PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com just shows that a growing number of women think nothing of the small fortune and massive efforts at searching as soon as the ceremonies are done. Whether prompted by financial incentive or the influence of celebrities, some brides are just practical enough to give up forever on the dress.
