School Supplies Tax-Free Weekend Includes Wedding Veils, Corsets, Costumes

By Sharon McLoone

Think beyond pencils, protractors and backpacks during Virginia’s school supplies and clothing tax-free holiday.

Wedding apparel, lingerie, corsets and costumes are just some of the items tax-free from Friday, Aug. 2, to Sunday, Aug. 4, in the commonwealth.

But brides take note — all clothing items must each be $100 or less, but the tax-free holiday does include veils (sold not rented).

Sports and recreational equipment is not included in the list of tax-free acceptable items but gym suits and uniforms are on the list.

You can also stock up on aprons, bathing suits, suspenders, rubber pants, clerical vestments and diapers tax-free this weekend.

See the full list in this PDF of what’s acceptable and what’s not.
