I Want to Wear an Imported Wedding Dress ♡

Imported dresses are filled with stylish and cute wedding dresses ♩ However, both renting and buying imported dresses tend to be on the pricey side.

Moreover, for popular brands like 'Vera Wang', wedding dresses are only sold and not available for rent.

"It's already expensive to rent, buying one is completely out of my budget! But I want to wear that dream high-end dress...♡" If that's you, I have a recommended way to purchase a dress at a more reasonable price ♩

Summary of Ways to Get a Wedding Dress "As a Second Owner"*

There is a way to purchase a dress from a beloved overseas brand at a lower price by becoming a 'second owner' and buying a reused item instead of buying it outright ♡

There are two ways to become a 'second owner' by getting a dress from a fellow bride ♩ I will introduce the sites in detail.

No.1. How to Become a Second Owner of a Wedding Dress: "SNS"

One of the two ways to become a second owner of a dress is through SNS. This method involves getting a dress from someone via social media ♩ Many brides-to-be are currently using this method, and the following two SNS platforms are quite active for giving away dresses.

How to Look for Wedding Dress Giveaways on SNS ① Instagram

Search for wedding dress giveaway posts on Instagram＊ I recommend looking for hashtags like “譲り” (giving away) and “お譲りします” (I’m giving away) in the search bar.＊

Alternatively, if you follow many accounts of brides who have had their weddings, you might come across giveaway posts♩

How to Look for Wedding Dress Giveaways on SNS ② Blogs

Many brides are blogging about their wedding experiences＊ Additionally, many brides who have already married want to give their dresses away through their blogs♩

If you search for “お譲り ドレス” (dress giveaway) on platforms like Ameba Blog, lots of posts will come up, so definitely check it out＊ Many brides are also giving away dress accessories!♡

Getting a dress from fellow brides you've connected with on social media feels special, doesn’t it?＊

It’s amazing that you can wear the wedding dress of a bride you've admired and followed on SNS for so long rather than getting one from a stranger!

No.2. How to Become a Second Owner of a Wedding Dress: "Used Dress Shops"

For brides-to-be who don't use SNS, I recommend specialized stores that handle mainly used wedding dresses from overseas brands＊

Since the dresses available at these shops change depending on the timing, it’s worth checking various stores♩ Here are four stores to introduce＊

Used Dress Shop ① 'MILLOOP WEDDING'

This is a resale specialist store that specializes in used wedding dresses＊

'MILLOOP WEDDING' focuses on dresses worn once by a single bride, known as one-owner dresses. It’s wonderful to be able to wear high-quality dresses at affordable prices ♩

Used Dress Shop ② 'Apego'

'Apego' is also a dress shop that conducts consignment sales of wedding dresses.

If you're looking to purchase used dresses from imported brands within a reachable price range, definitely check this out ♩

➡︎ Here’s the official site for 'Apego'＊

Used Dress Shop ③ 'Beacon Dress'

A shop that deals with used dresses from overseas shops and brides. If you express your desired dress to them, they will help you find it, so if you have a dress you really want but are concerned about the price, consider consulting them!

[Receiving the Baton of Happiness＊] I Want to Become a Second Owner of a Wedding Dress ♡

Renting a dress is nice, but "on my special wedding day, I'd rather wear my own dress that I purchased!♡

But I want to get my dream dress at an affordable price..." For brides-to-be like these, becoming a second owner of a wedding dress and receiving the happy baton from fellow brides is a great idea ♡♩

Get your dream imported dress at an affordable price and get ready for a wonderful day!
