items in particular \u2014 a college graduation dress \u2014 were hard to part with, it was worth it for her dream wedding.<\/p>\n<p>She got married in Vista, California, in front of 120 friends and family in August 2021, with her Poshpark profits paying for the $17,000 celebration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still had a little bit leftover,\u201d she added. \u201cEverything that I\u2019m making now we\u2019re putting toward rent and even fun stuff like vacations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Courtney Soberal, a teacher in Los Angeles, had a similar experience. The 31-year-old financed her dream wedding in Hawaii by buying clothes at local thrift stores, then selling them at a profit on Poshmark. She made around $10,000, allowing her to buy both her wedding dress and frocks for her bridal party. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-08.jpg?w=682\" alt=\"Courtney Soberal paid for her own wedding dress as well as the dresses for her bridesmaids and flower girls from the money made from Poshmark.\" class=\"wp-image-23521270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-08.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1023 1023w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-08.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=682 682w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-08.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=341 341w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-08.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\"\/><figcaption>Courtney Soberal paid for her own wedding dress as well as the dresses for her bridesmaids and flower girls from the money made from Poshmark.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Jessica Sullivan of Jessica Pine<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-06.jpg?w=682\" alt=\"She says her guests were 'happy and impressed' with her selling success.\" class=\"wp-image-23521303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-06.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1023 1023w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-06.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=682 682w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-06.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=341 341w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-06.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\"\/><figcaption>Soberal said her guests were \u201ch<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>y and impressed\u201d with her selling success.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Jessica Sullivan of Jessica Pine<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cMy dress was a strapless, sweetheart mermaid-style gown, it was originally $1,200 and I purchased it for $200,\u201d the thrifty bride shared. \u201cMy bridesmaid dresses were a boutique brand and they were $70 each and the flower girl dresses were also boutique and they were both $40.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Soberal turns over items without too much attachment, selling some things is more difficult than others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[I found it hard parting with my] daughter\u2019s baby clothes she had outgrown,\u201d the mom admitted. \u201cBut I was able to overcome the sentimental feelings knowing that the money from her clothes selling was going in her college fund.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-05.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Soberal and her husband had their dream wedding in Hawaii.\" class=\"wp-image-23521335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-05.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-05.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/sold-clothes-wedding-05.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Soberal and her husband had their dream wedding in Hawaii.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Jessica Sullivan of Jessica Pine<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Soberal said her wedding guests were \u201chappy and impressed\u201d when she told them how she helped pay for her wedding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost people don\u2019t realize how much money they have sitting in their closet and clothes,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople don\u2019t really think that this would be such a lucrative market and it really is.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
