If you think about it, knowing which thrifted stores are the best places to find unique items is an amazing skill in itself, as well as when you’re able to find vintage items with an unbelievably affordable price tag. </p><p> Unfortunately, it’s not a talent I possess, however, the same can’t be said about the woman in the video below. She found a vintage 1970s wedding dress that fit her so well — almost as though it was custom-made for her! </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><div data-type="SOCIAL_CARD"><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@unbotheredblonde/video/7306936783835630890" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7306936783835630890"><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@unbotheredblonde?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="@unbotheredblonde"> @unbotheredblonde </a><p> The same thing happened with my engagement ring 🥺🫶🏼 <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/vintageweddingdress?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="vintageweddingdress"> #vintageweddingdress </a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/thriftedweddingdress?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="thriftedweddingdress"> #thriftedweddingdress </a> from @Arsenic &amp; Old Lace </p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/You-dont-know-me-7304483595865852715?refer=embed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="♬ You dont know me - ellery"> ♬ You dont know me - ellery </a></blockquote></div><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@unbotheredblonde/video/7306936783835630890" rel="nofollow"> In the video </a> posted to TikTok by user <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@unbotheredblonde" rel="nofollow"> @unbotheredblonde </a> on Wednesday, November 29, the happy bride shared a vintage wedding dress that she found for $200 while thrifting. If you’ve ever shopped for a wedding dress or assisted someone with finding their dream wedding dress then you know $200 for a wedding dress is a major deal considering dresses can easily cost at least four to five times that amount. What makes this find even better is that she needed no alterations for this dress! </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><h2> How to Thrift </h2><p> If you’re like me and aren’t too <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@unbotheredblonde" rel="nofollow"> great at thrifting </a> (or really, lack the patience) but want to get better, it’s important to know that <a href="https://bellatory.com/news/thrift-flip-dress-turned-top" rel="nofollow"> thrift shopping </a> takes a ton of patience and self-control. While you can walk into any thrift store or consignment shop and hope for the best, it’s better to research the thrift stores in your area and ask around to see which thrift stores have the best deals and finds. Another good way to find out about the best thrift stores in your area is by selling any items you no longer need or want. This not only helps you save money, but it also potentially helps you find local thrift stores that may have items that fit your aesthetic or style. Lastly, dress comfortably and expect to spend hours scouring the aisles to <em> hopefully </em> find what you’re looking for like this bride did. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p> This <a href="https://bellatory.com/news/wedding-dress-vintage" rel="nofollow"> wedding dress find </a> was a <a href="https://bellatory.com/news/thrifted-wedding-dress-score" rel="nofollow"> meant-to-be moment </a> for her — this dress sat in the store for a while because it didn’t fit anyone else but her! </p></div></body>
