Excited bride shows off £550 dress she found for £43 in a charity shop

Finding the perfect dress can often be one of the most expensive parts of planning a wedding.

But one woman has revealed how she saved herself a fortune by buying a £43 dress from the charity shop.

She took to Reddit to share a photo of herself in the stunning off-the-shoulder number, which would have originally cost £550.

“After a few months of scouring Goodwill and purchasing a few ‘maybe’ dresses, I’m finally done with the search process!” she wrote.

The David’s Bridal dress even came with the tag still attached, showing that it was completely unworn.

She added that she found the dress on the charity shop’s website and said she would recommend it to “anyone looking for a low clothing budget without compromising on quality!”

“There are several new options with tags!” she concluded.

People were quick to comment on the post, with many commenting on how well the dress suited the bride-to-be.

“Omg both you and the dress are BEAUTIFUL,” one person wrote.

“Have you had it adjusted yet? It suits you so well!”

‘Not yet! It definitely needs to be zoomed in,” the woman replied.

“Other than that it fits perfectly!”

“It really fits great, and it’s absolutely perfect for you,” praised another.

As a third said: “You look perfect! So timeless and elegant!”

“Wow, beautiful, I love the classic lines and it fits so well,” someone else wrote.

“You really got lucky, what a find and I’m sure it’s a bargain for a beautiful, flattering, beautiful, timeless dress.”

“You look so classically bridal. This is the luckiest find ever!” said another.

While others were quick to point out one of the dress’s additional features.

“And it has pockets!” wrote one.

“My dress has pockets and not going to lie, that was definitely one of the things that sold me on it!” said another.

“Just got married in this dress last month, loved it,” enthused a third.

“Bags help so much. I held my vows and a special charm during the ceremony and my phone during the reception.

You look perfect! So timeless and elegant

“The bags are really great!!” replied the bride.

‘I’m thrilled to be able to keep my vows!

“The special charm is such a nice touch.”
