Vinted reports a year-on-year increase in demand for second-hand bridesmaid dresses. Searches for these dresses rise by 17% compared with the previous year, according to the resale platform. The findings also highlight financial concerns tied to being a bridesmaid. The data shows that nearly a quarter of women who have served as bridesmaids (24%) have considered turning down the role because of cost. The reports focus on both changing online search behaviour and the broader affordability pressure associated with weddings and related outfits. Overall, the outlets present Vinted’s findings as evidence of growing interest in more affordable options, while also suggesting that price concerns can affect willingness to participate in bridesmaid duties. The figures come from Vinted’s analysis and are reported consistently across the sources.
