If you fell in love with a designer gown but later found out the price tag is way out of your budget, you are not alone.  Designer gowns can range from $2K to more than $10K these days.  I found this great article on the NY times With This Dress I Thee Wed, Wed, and Wed.  Gone with the old thinking that brides who buy pre-owned dress has to keep it a secret.  Today in this economy, many brides are watching their budget and buy gently used dresses or bought-but-not-wore dresses.   The article also talked about a few websites where you can find pre-owned gowns such as Encore Bridal, oncewed.com etc.  Check it out maybe you can afford your dream dress afterall.
