I got my £15 wedding dress in a charity shop – it wasn’t my dream gown but I found out it saved me £2K & fell in love
A BRIDE-TO-BE was left on cloud nine when she found a wedding dress for just £15 in her local charity shop.
Olivia, who is due to tie the knot in a beachside ceremony, spotted the “stunning” gown in the fashion section – and later discovered it could be worth up to £2.3K.
The savvy shopper shared her story on her social media account, which can be found at @tinneyo on TikTok.
Olivia explained: “I might have just found my wedding dress thrift shopping.
“I went to the thrift store today after work and found some really cute stuff and was feeling like I was on a roll.
“I went over to the dress section, not even the formal dress. I just walked over there just to see and I happened upon a brand new with the tag wedding dress.”
The soon to be married woman continued: “I’m getting married next year and I haven’t found my dress yet.”
And while she admitted it’s not something she would have “picked out initially,” she went on to try it on – and was mega impressed.
Showing the off white satin number with a mermaid tail, she went on to say: “It was actually stunning and I kind of loved it.
“Oh, and it was only $20 so that was incredible.”
But the best bit was still to come, as when Olivia took it home, she looked the brand up online – and saw that it sells for up to $3000, around £2,300, saving her mega bucks.
And it made her fall in love with the idea of wearing it to her nuptials even more.
Olivia explained in a separate video: “She is really beautiful, she still has the tag on her and she’s in perfect condition.”
“I did look her up – the style and brand. It’s from a brand called W2, which I’m not super familiar with bridal gown brands right now.”
She then showed the original listing, with a model wearing the classy dress, as she continued: “It says it runs between $2k to $3k, so I’m not sure if it’s accurate, but it’s pretty cool.”
Olivia then said while she still needed to go shopping once more to make sure, she was coming round to the idea that she’d found “the one”.
She concluded: “What I’m going to do is keep it until I go wedding dress shopping.
“Because I do want to have that experience and it is not exactly what I thought I would be interested in for my wedding.
“I’m getting married on the beach and it’s a little too glam for me, but I do love it, so I think I think it could work if I don’t find anything.”
