A Wellington woman is trying to hunt down her wedding dress that accidentally got donated to an op shop.

Donna McQuaid lent her wedding dress to a friend who was recently engaged.

But that friend accidentally donated the designer dress to a Lower Hutt charity shop.

McQuaid has called every charity shop in Wellington to no avail.

She says if you saw it in an op-shop, you would know you've stumbled upon something special.

"It's really got some sentimental value to me, and I would love to get it back."
