Abstract

There is a clear need for reducing the environmental impact of fashion clothing. This paper argues that wedding dresses are a key topic for exploration due to their notable environmental impact. Currently there is very little understanding of how brides-to-be choose their wedding dress, and our research aims to close this gap by researching how, when, and why brides-to-be might engage with the sharing economy to acquire a second-hand wedding dress. Encouraging re-distribution of wedding dresses can make a significant contribution to lessening their negative environmental impact over time.
