Woman's $20 Thrift Store Wedding Dress Is Worth $3K
The NY Post says TikTok user Olivia recently found a brand new $3,000 wedding dress at a thrift shop. It was priced at $20. The bride-to-be initially left the store because she wasn't sure if she wanted to buy it. She quickly returned to the shop after her TikTok followers encouraged her to make the purchase. Olivia is still debating whether or not to keep the stunning dress or sell it. The gown still has its original tags. Olivia says, "I’m getting married on the beach and it's a little bit too glam for me, but I do love it if I can't find anything. A few people asked me if I'd be interested in selling it to them. I would love to pass this along as long as you pay for shipping."
