I thrifted a wedding dress for $35 – I later looked up how much it would’ve cost retail, I made such a score
A FRUGAL shopper has scored a wedding dress from a thrift store for only $35.
She claimed the matrimonial find goes for much more off-the-rack than what she paid for.
Gennevi (@gennevi1) filmed herself immediately after making the purchase, looking particularly ecstatic about the buy in a video on TikTok.
“Did I just buy a wedding dress from Goodwill?” read the text.
She showed a clip of an overstuffed shopping bag containing the dress.
“It was like $35,” she said. “So a score.”
In a video transition, she modeled the wedding dress for the camera.
“Bougie on a budget,” she added in the caption.
Gennevi later spilled that she got the most bang for her buck by purchasing the dress for $35.
“I honestly didn’t realize how much freaking wedding dresses cost,” she said. “I looked up the designer and this dress would’ve cost about $3,000.”
The video drew in many viewers who weighed in on the purchase in the comment section.
“Hoping it comes from a good vibe bride,” one wrote. “They said brings good luck.”
Another added: “Good for you. Smart move.”
“After my divorce, I donated my gorgeous, off the shoulder, silk taffeta wedding gown to Goodwill,” said a third. “No doubt that there are incredible finds there.”
“Good for you,” yet another wrote. “I can’t believe how much women spend on a dress for one day.”
“That’s awesome,” one more chimed in. “Thrift stores are bomb.”
