The secondhand wedding dress market is booming, with fans of the practice citing both the financial savings and the environmental impact of making a new gown. White special-occasion and cocktail dresses from secondhand retailers have seen a 23% increase in sales this year compared to 2019, according to ThredUp data cited by CBS News.
You tell us: How would you feel about you or your betrothed walking down the aisle in a secondhand wedding dress at your wedding? Cast your vote here.
Circling back: Last time, we told you how the FTC had filed a lawsuit against Amazon for allegedly “tricking and trapping” customers concerning Amazon Prime. The lawsuit alleges that Amazon deploys “dark patterns” to get consumers to enroll in Prime without their consent and that the process of canceling Prime, which requires six clicks, is onerous.
So we asked if you were rooting for the FTC or Amazon in the lawsuit, and many of you are not, apparently, in the Jeff Bezos fan club, with 66.7% voting that you were rooting for the FTC, 27.9% rooting for Amazon, and 5.5% saying you did not know or weren’t sure.
