Note however that this dress was gifted as a sentimental wedding present to a friend. I would suppose the ones listed on Facebook marketplace are somewhat differently motivated.

You're probably right, but my uninformed, blind optimism tells me that they're selling it to guage demand. Then they send the money back as a wedding gift to help the couple start a new life. I have zero evidence for this, but that's my head cannon.
