A woman hit the jackpot when she bought a vintage designer wedding dress for only $75.
When Alyzza Alolor, 19, went thrift shopping with her best friend on Nov. 17 at Superbum, a vintage store in Sacramento, California, she never expected to find her dream wedding dress.
"I originally didn’t even want to buy anything but I saw the dress on a rack and just had to try it on," Alolor tells PEOPLE. "I've never worn a wedding dress before so I thought it would be a fun thing to do and I would just go on about my day."
It was an Oleg Cassini white corset embellished ballgown. The dress has a basque-style waist, decorative pearl beading, delicate lace appliques and a scoop-back neckline with 21 buttons.
At the time, Alolor didn't even know it was a designer wedding dress. She figured it wouldn't fit properly or "just look awkward," but when she looked at herself in it she was proven wrong.

"As soon as I saw myself in the mirror I was so in love with it," she says. It wasn’t too tight or had any weird gaps. It truly fit me like a glove."
Alolor thought it would be "insane" to buy the dress, considering she's only a teenager and has no plans of getting married any time soon. The dress was also almost $200.
