NYC-based company NewlyMaid has created a system that allows former bridesmaids to trade in their old worn bridesmaid dresses for a discount on a NewlyMaid dress.
With so many nuptials to attend, who can forget about the gawking at (usually) horrible bridesmaids dresses that comes with being a wedding guest? Ladies, rejoice, because NewlyMaid specializes in no-fuss, chic black sheaths. In other words, the perfect little black dress.
All you have to do is create a NewlyMaid account, then package and send in your old dress. If your bridesmaid dress is in good condition, you'll receive an email saying it was accepted and you'll get a discount on your next online purchase. Finally, start browsing and you're sure to find the perfect NewlyMaid dress for you.
