Go to your local department stores. Look for prom, party, cocktail and evening gowns that come in your ideal styles, shapes and colors. Shop in the general gown section of the store, not in the bridal section. Find common wedding gown styles, such as a sheath, empire or halter.

Visit consignment or gently-used boutiques to shop for a vintage gown. Ask to see every white gown in your size. Think about the theme of your wedding; consider whether a vintage-style dress would work for you.

Ask everyone you know for used dress referrals. Not every bride wants to seal and box her gown. Offer a fair price to the recent bride for her gently used dress.

Buy a sample gown from a bridal salon. Request to try on all the dresses in your size that have been retired from the show floor. Also, ask if you can see any dresses that were cancelled from brides who never picked up their orders.
