How it works
A marketplace between families
PreLovedIE is an independent Irish marketplace for pre-loved communion, confirmation and flower girl wear. Families list their own dresses and sell them directly to other families.
Selling a dress
01
Photograph the dress
Three to six photos in daylight — the whole dress, the back, the bodice, and anything worth pointing out.
02
Write the details and pay €20
Size, condition, county and your asking price. One flat €20.00 fee, 6 months live, no commission.
03
We check it, then publish
A quick check that photos and details look right, then your listing goes live and buyers can see it.
04
Arrange the sale yourself
Buyers contact you directly. You agree the price, payment and handover, then mark it sold in your dashboard.
Buying a dress

Ask questions, ask for extra photos, and arrange payment and collection or postage directly with the seller.
Questions
Who am I buying from?+
Another family. PreLovedIE is a listings platform — the person who listed the dress owns it, sells it and posts or hands it over. We never take possession of any item.
Do you inspect or guarantee the dresses?+
No. Condition, measurements and descriptions come from the seller. We do a light check that a listing looks genuine before it publishes, but we don't see, inspect or authenticate items, and we don't handle payment for a dress.
What does listing cost?+
A flat €20.00 per dress, which publishes it for 6 months. There is no commission — whatever you agree with your buyer is yours.
Is the listing fee refundable?+
If your listing can't be published, the fee is refunded in full. Once it's published the fee isn't refunded, because it has done its job.
What happens after six months?+
Your listing moves to Expired and disappears from the site. You can relist it whenever you like — a relist is a new listing and a new fee.
How do I stay safe?+
Meet somewhere public if you're handing over in person, or use a payment method that keeps a record. Never send money without speaking to the seller first, and report anything that looks off using the link on the listing.
Can I return something I bought?+
That's between you and the seller — items are pre-loved and sold as described. Ask everything you want to know before you pay.
Do buyers need an account?+
No. You only need an account to list a dress and manage it.
