I agree! I've been following used dress sites for years since I help with costuming for our school. I've never seen this many "new" dresses for sale. It's a buyers' market. We've had so many families have troubles with brand new dresses getting delivered late, not fitting, etc. I really recommend buying a used, "nearly new" dress to most of our dancers. We do that (my dd is OC), can pick something very modern but not cookie-cutter, get better fit, and don't wait for months hoping a dress arrives in time for a major. -- The New Irish Dance Message Board

Yes there are tons! I wish sellers would be more realistic about their pricing though and not say things likes "only worn 10 times!" bc that is actually a lot of times. Between 1-3 times is a selling point imo (NT) -- nt, 12:37:20 12/08/17 Fri

So sick of the ISO WQ DRESS IN MY EXACT COLORS REQIRUNG NO ALTERATIONS AND NEVER WORN. Must be less than $500 because we are in a budget and must never have been seen. Of course I'm exaggerating, but be fair to seller too! Most sellers are very realistic. $4000 Gavin for $1500 less than a year old. You can buy crap from someone like ID for $1500 but yohlllook like all their others. Those of you who have no clue that it took 30 hours to apply that $1200 of crystals are just asses.

Ouch... sorry you've had a hard time. There's actually small name BNDM's where you can get a dress of better workmanship and less cookie-cutter than your overpriced Gavin. Rhinestones or not. (NT) -- Good luck, 20:43:05 02/15/18 Thu
I used to laugh and scroll by, but now I post mine with the price (higher than their budget). I sold one 2 weeks ago that way to someone who found it in the thread but wasn’t the original poster. (NT) -- But remember, not all additions add value, 16:33:36 02/16/18 Fri
