Wondering if you know of any consignment/discount stores that specialize in wedding dresses. My daughter will be planning her wedding soon and I’d like to be prepared!
Here are a few places I managed to track down. Bridal isn’t my thing so it’s safe to say I haven’t been to many of these places.
Play It Again Val - 20 Harwood Avenue South, Ajax, Ontario
Paper Bag Princess - 287 Davenport Road, Toronto
Ooh La La Couture - 1645 Dufferin St.
Belo Fashions - 946 Bloor St. West, Toronto - Currently having their big sale
Divine Decadence Originals - 136 Cumberland Street, Upper Floor Toronto
Be sure to check my list of vintage and consignment shops also. You never know where you could find that gem.
If any readers have suggestions, please leave a comment.

I have a dress that has never been worn. I’m wondering if you know what I can do with it?

Hey Tania
I would try to sell it myself first. Craigslist is a good option. If that didn’t pan out, I would try one of the above consignment shops.
It’s also a good idea to let people know that you have one for sale, word of mouth can do wonders
If you have a website or blog, post about it. You never know.
