While it wasn't the dress worn down the aisle in the film's plot, Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) wore the "Eleanor" couture dress, designed by Vera Wang, during a bridal photo shoot for Vogue in the first Sex and the City movie. Poshmark reseller Ashley Cano thrifted the gorgeous gown and sold it to a new real-life bride, Sophia Corin Merlino, for $2,750—a massive markup from her original $18.99 thrift price.
"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this dress," she captioned the TikTok video. "But I fear I may have [bitten] off more than I can chew. It's so big, so heavy. And I have no clue how to best sell it. Any help?"

She later took to TikTok with another video asking Chicago brides to give her "just a minute to catch up" on inquiries about the dress made of sumptuous fabrics with a voluminous ruffled skirt.
Eventually, Merlino made the purchase. And now, nearly a year later, she wore it to her wedding. Merlino made the dress her own with minor alterations, walking down the aisle in Miami at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens on February 13.
