Circling back: Last time, we told you how the secondhand wedding dress market is booming, and asked how you’d feel about you or your betrothed walking down the aisle in a secondhand wedding dress at your wedding. We didn’t know you were so gung-ho about resale, with 74.1% saying you’d prefer a secondhand dress over a new one, 18.8% saying you’d be in favor of a new dress over secondhand, while 3.6% didn’t know or weren’t sure. Among those whose marriages would not involve either person in the couple wearing a dress, three times as many respondents said they favor secondhand attire (2.7%) over new attire (0.9%).
