二手婚纱买卖火热 千禧新娘不再保留婚纱

More millennial brides opt to trade in their dresses for cash

Buying a bridal gown can be a pretty hefty expense, but some brides eschewing tradition and selling their used wedding dresses online instead of storing them for the next generation.

买婚纱花费相当高昂,但是有些新娘却抛弃传统,将自己穿过的婚纱在网上出售,而不是为下一代保留婚纱.

Dalia Rhodes from Austin, Texas, has no regrets about sending her wedding dress down the aisle twice. After she wed in 2015, she sold her gown to a stranger online a year later.

来自美国德克萨斯州奥斯汀市的达丽雅•罗德斯不后悔自己的婚纱被再度穿上走上婚礼红毯.2015年她结婚后,过了一年,她便将自己的婚纱卖给了一个陌生人.

'I just wanted someone else to enjoy a pretty dress,' said Dalia, who used the website Once Wed to sell it for $800, about half of what she originally paid.

达丽雅通过Once Wed(曾经结婚)网站以800美元(合5535元人民币)的价格卖掉了自己的婚纱,大约是她买入价格的一半.她说:"我只希望另一个人也能开心地穿上这条美丽的裙子."

Instead of holding on to wedding dresses for decades, many new brides are willing to swap them online for cash. Several websites cater to them, including Still White and PreownedWeddingDresses.com.

现在许多新娘都愿意用穿过的婚纱在网上换取现金,而不是将婚纱保存几十年.迎合这一需求的网站包括Still White(依然洁白)和PreownedWeddingDresses(二手婚纱).

And other online marketplaces, such as eBay, Tradesy and Letgo, are filled with thousands of wedding dresses looking for a new bride.

其他在线交易网站,如易趣、Tradesy和Letgo,都有数千件婚纱正在找寻新的主人.

Just the idea of buying a used wedding dress was 'shocking and horrifying' before 2008, said Tracy DiNunzio, the founder and CEO of online clothing and accessories marketplace Tradesy.

服装饰品在线交易平台Tradesy的创始人和首席执行官特蕾西•迪农齐奥说,在2008年前,光是想要买二手婚纱这个想法就足以"令人惊骇".

She noted that began to change about a decade ago during the recession, when cash-strapped brides were looking for a deal, and now millennials, who seemingly are not as attached to material things as past generations, are putting up their dresses for sale.

她注意到,这个观念大约在十年前经济衰退时期开始发生改变,当时手头拮据的新娘开始找寻性价比高的婚纱,而现在的千禧一代对于物质的东西似乎也不像以前的人那么执着,她们开始出售自己的婚纱.
