A bride has been praised online after revealing that she bought her wedding dress in an op shop for just $3.

The dress, which features tulle cap sleeves which draped down her back and a swooping neckline, was just $3 from her local Goodwill shop.
“I thrifted this silk dress right after we got engaged and still wore it for the ceremony,” Rachel wrote in the caption.
People were left floored by how beautiful she looked in the dress, with one person saying: “The thriting gods really have favourites huh?”

Others said they did something similar for their wedding day look, with one person saying she also got her dress at Goodwill for $50.
“I bought a Justin Alexander wedding dress with tags still on for $60 and I adore it,” a commenter said.
It wasn’t the only dress Rachel thrifted from the op shop, with the stunner revealing her second dress of the day was also from Goodwill and it cost just $5.
Her evening dress was a babydoll style number, with cap sleeves and short feathered skirt.
“You never know what you’ll find at the thrift 2 weeks before your wedding,” she said.
When one person commented again saying she looks like Meghan Markle, Rachel replied: “Except my wedding was in a roller skating rink and not a royal palace.”
