The Zappos of Wedding Retail
           Great bridal shopping. Online.
Brides want designer
           gowns.
           But, boutiques are
           overpriced,
           & online buying isn’t
           secure, easy, OR fun.

Retailers (and resellers) want a
way to move inventory out,

But eBay is expensive &
inconvenient
The Value Proposition
