Elegant Repeats and Elegant

$500-$600 (though some gowns are more expensive). I also love that we didn’t have a time limit and could try on as many dresses as I wanted. The only things I would change is I wish they allowed drinking water in the fitting area and that they would hold dresses for an afternoon.

w the sign for Elegant Repeats. We thought it would be fun to take a break and try on some fun second-hand dresses from the eighties or ninties just for kicks. That is not at all what we found! ER has an awesome selection of current and in-style dresses. I am a size 10-12 in regular women's clothing and prior to coming in I was having a really hard time at bridal boutiques who treat you like crap if you aren't a size 2. ER had MULTIPLE dresses in my size to try on. It was a dream to be able to try on gowns without having to feel bad about being so large. The associate (Mariyea I think) was so sweet and patient. I really felt like she was invested in helping me find the perfect dress. I ended up finding exactly what I was looking for in a dress that already fit me perfectly (it just required one small alteration--to be taken in at the bust slightly). I found my dream gown at $800 underbudget and I got to take it home that day. Realistically, not everyone is going to find their dream gown here because it's consignment and they have what they have. But you might so it's absolutely worth a stop.

definitely go back for other events. Also a lot less crowded on a Saturday than other bridal salons.
