    I mean, that’ll only let you know their dress size when they were married - which may have been years ago.

    So not too different to Tinder bio photos.

      This is the case for someone I know. One of her friends had a beautiful wedding dress that she didn’t want to go to waste, so she just gifted it to her as an early wedding present. After her wedding, she did the same, passing it on. No telling where that dress is now, but I like to imagine it’s still traveling the world, one wedding at a time. Also, both this woman and her friend have been married to their respective partners for over a decade, so I assume it’s at least going adequately, if not well.

          Dress of Theseus is now one of my new favorite tropes. Thank you.

          Also, I did not know wedding dresses sometimes have sequins. When you mentioned them, I imagined something like a cabaret dress. Much to my dismay, I discovered that they’re tastefully done when I looked it up. Still, if you get invited to a wedding with an outrageously sequined dress, see if you can get me on the list.

        Note however that this dress was gifted as a sentimental wedding present to a friend. I would suppose the ones listed on Facebook marketplace are somewhat differently motivated.

          You’re probably right, but my uninformed, blind optimism tells me that they’re selling it to guage demand. Then they send the money back as a wedding gift to help the couple start a new life. I have zero evidence for this, but that’s my head cannon.

              That’s pretty hilarious. On a serious note, I imagine people wouldn’t want to take the risk of having sex in the dress before the ceremony. Afterward, getting the dress off to replace it with some exotic, strappy, crazy lingerie seems like a better idea to me. Still, whatever floats their goat, I guess.

                A lot of brides change before the wedding reception. The big poofy thing is often just for the ceremony.

                  That’s a really good point. I forgot that wedding days are structured that way. Still, it doesn’t seem like a good idea to have sex in one of those dresses for other reasons. If some people like that, more power to them.

      Are you pretending the language “females” & “males” is abnormal in classifieds, personals, & marketplaces?
