How to find a vintage wedding dress

If you picture yourself walking down the aisle on your big day in an elegant creation from days gone by, you'll need to know how to find a vintage wedding dress if you want to make your dreams come true.

Ebay is always a good starting place but if you're buying online you'll need to be very sure of the size of the dress you are buying. The body shape of the average woman has changed a good deal over the years and a vintage dress in your usual size may not fit you at all.

If you're not having much luck with your search, try broadening out your options. Looking for vintage white evenings gowns, daytime dresses or even prom dresses can often lead you to exactly the right design and a few simple accessories can quickly turn this into your perfect vintage wedding dress. If you want to shop in the real world thrift shops will occasionally get dresses in so you might get lucky but you are better off visiting shops that specialize
in vintage clothes. This is a more expensive option but the clothes will be in far better condition.
