How to Find a Discontinued Wedding Gown
- 1). Check with authorized retailers of the manufacturer. You can call the manufacturer directly or search their website to find a list of retailers who carry their wedding gowns in stock. These retailers may have stock of the gown left over, or may have the discontinued gown's sample gown available.
- 2). Search Internet auction sites, such as eBay or AuctionFire, using the designer's name and the style number. Remember to search the auction titles and the auction descriptions. Before buying, verify with the seller that the gown is authentic and has the designer's tags.
- 3). Search used wedding gown stores, both online and in person. Retail wedding shops may have a used gown section, and some shops may have an online listing of their used gowns.
- 4). Check local classified ads, both online or in a paper. Wedding gowns for sale may be listed. Check classifieds in other areas or states to get a better result.
- 5). Search wedding-specific websites, such as The Knot or Confetti, for other recent brides who may have worn the gown you'd like and are willing to sell it.
