Hi!
So if you are from Maine or live in Maine, you are probably familiar with Marden''s surplus store - the store where you never know what you are going to find when you go in (it is kind of like big lots, but it seems even more random). They have clothing, furniture, flooring, decorations, pretty much anything.
I went into the one in Waterville, (Central) Maine, yesterday, and they had wedding dresses for $50.00. I went knowing they were there, but not really knowing what to expect. Well, I walked out with a Paloma Blanca, silk satin beautiful wedding dress. For $52.50 total, with an original price tag of $2300!! I did some internet research (a ton) and think the dress is from 2004, but am not 100%. But I do not think it looks dated. The dresses were your typical sample sizes and mine is a 10, and surprisingly not super big. (i''m a 2 in normal clothes). They all would need a good cleaning of course, but really - $50 is crazy!
So I know there aren''t many Mainers on here, but if anyone is in the area, thought I''d pass the info on! If you go to their website (mardensurplus.com) you can find their locations. I don''t know if all locations received wedding dresses, but it might be worth a call if you''re near one of the other onees! I saw paloma blancas, eden bridals, and some other brands I hadn''t necessarily heard of, but were 100% silk dresses.
And because I love seeing other people''s pictures, I''ve attached one...I''m pulling the waist back so it fits better...it''s an off-white color.
Hope that helps someone!
