Knowing how exorbitant wedding gowns can get — the average price last year was about $1,800 — Gwendolyn Stulgis decided to give hers away on Facebook rather than sell it. Soon others did the same.
She took to social media to find a bride who would be just as thrilled to wear it as she was.
“She is the most selfless person I know,” Ashley wrote. “I’ve never met a more deserving woman who would carry on your wish to pass this gown on to someone after her.” In a Facebook Live on June 4, Stulgis announced the lucky bride who would get her dress. Hyde was in shock.“I wasn’t expecting to win at all,” said Hyde, who had searched far and wide for a dress but couldn’t find one that was affordable. She was considering making her own outfit as a last resort.
Others were intrigued by the concept. In the process of trying to find the recipient of her dress, Stulgis received messages from many women who also wished to give away their wedding gowns.She decided to start a Facebook group calledto encourage women around the world to also give away their gowns to someone who would love to wear it.
“It’s not about me anymore. It’s about other people wanting to give away their dress to someone else who needs one,” Stulgis said. “It’s really working out, and it’s so lovely.”Jennifer Francis, 58, was one of the first members to join the group and excitedly offered up her formal ivory strapless gown, which she bought for her upcoming August wedding but ended up picking a different dress. The gown is unworn, and all the tags are still on it.
