Project Description

The Bridesmaid Dress sharing website, MisMatched Maids, is an online shopping platform connecting bridesmaids to their second-hand bridesmaid dresses and a community to share wedding day experiences and local recommendations. There is a whitespace opportunity in the market for bridesmaids that want to purchase second-hand bridesmaid dresses from a chic site for both economic and environmental reasons. The fashion industry operates under the linear ‘take-make-dispose’ model, and MisMatched Maids helps close the loop by connecting the dresses with new owners to create a perpetual cycle for these historically single use dresses.
