Our mission
The right dress should live more than once.
Occasion wear is the most expensive clothing most people buy and the least often worn. Encore Fashion exists to close that gap: to make a beautiful preowned dress as easy and as safe to buy as a new one, and to make selling the dress in your closet worth the effort.
We are a marketplace, not a consignment shop. Sellers keep ownership of their pieces and set their own prices. Encore verifies who is selling, holds the money through our payment provider until the buyer has the dress, and takes a published commission only when an order completes.
Seven ways to enter
A closet for every occasion
The shop is organised by the moment a dress is for, because that is how people actually search. Every closet uses the same listing standard and the same protections.
Wedding Dresses
Gowns listed with their size, silhouette, alterations, cleaning history, and whether they have been professionally preserved. Sellers publish several photographs, including the areas buyers always ask about: the hem, the bodice, the closure, and any repair.
Bridesmaid
Single dresses in the size and shade someone actually needs. Because most bridesmaid dresses are worn once, condition here is usually excellent and the saving against retail is the largest on the site.
Bridesmaid Bundles
A shopping mode rather than an occasion. A bride can search one colour and silhouette across the real range of sizes in her party, reserve several dresses in one pass, and keep the party looking coordinated without asking anyone to buy new.
Prom and Graduation
Statement dresses that were photographed once. Listings note the year and the designer so a buyer can avoid duplicating a dress already seen at their own school.
Cocktail
Shorter occasion wear for weddings, receptions, and evenings out, where fit notes and true to size feedback from past buyers matter most.
Party
Distinctive pieces for celebrations and milestones, listed by colour, fabric, and season so a look can be found quickly.
Maternity
Occasion wear for a short season of life, offered by sellers who know exactly how briefly these pieces are needed and price them accordingly.
Wedding parties
Why bundles exist for the whole party
Dressing a wedding party is a coordination problem before it is a shopping problem. Bundles are built around the four things that make it hard.
Real sizes for real women
Nobody in a wedding party is the same shape, and nobody should be squeezed into one retailer's size chart. Encore lets you hold the colour and the silhouette while finding each dress separately, in the size that person actually wears.
Flexible budgets
Your best friend should not have to choose between standing beside you and spending four hundred dollars on a dress she will wear once. Resale prices mean the person with the tightest budget is not the one quietly stepping out of the photographs.
One cohesive look
A bundle is not a package of identical dresses. It is a way to shop one colour and shape across every size your bridal party needs, so the group looks planned without anyone being forced into the same garment.
One wedding day
Made to order dresses can take months. A dress that already exists can be reserved today, picked up across town, and altered while a new order would still be sitting in production.
The practical side
The safeguards are practical
Reviewed sellers, required photographs, payments held until the dress is in your hands, time to inspect it, and a refund process with real rules. When something goes wrong, a person at Encore reads both sides and makes the call.
