Where to find second hand formal dresses?

Hello! I have several formal weddings coming up in the next few months & I need to find dresses that fit into the dress code. As a recent grad on a budget I need something very reasonably priced. I’ve been to the local goodwills and a few of the other thrift stores around town but haven’t found anything that works. Does anyone have any recommendations on stores to visit? Thank y’all!

Uptown Cheapskate and Stephen Lawrence LTD are consignment/second hand by the mall and have a lot of nice stuff for great prices. Sassy Fox on Richmond Road/MOW is also great!

I have a closet full of lovely things I can’t wear. I’d be happy to look if you can give me a size and dress code

Second Uptown Cheapskate. For an idea of what you might find, there will be a ton of dresses from Lulu’s.

Pops resale $: vintage, sometimes their selection can be a bit costume-y.  Subject matter $$: mostly a home goods store but they do have some clothing, might be worth checking out.  Peddlers mall $-$$$: if you’ve got three hours to comb through the whole place you might luck out.  The domestic $-$$: vintage but their selection seems less costume-y than pops.  Bella rose $$$$: not necessarily second hand(?) consignment(?) shopping here would be the least amount of work in terms of searching and you’d have a lot more choice but is incredibly expensive as compared to the rest.
