Selling guide
Give your dress its best second chance
A flat €20.00 publishes your dress for 6 months. What makes the difference is the photos, the detail and the price — here's what works.
Photograph it well
- • Daylight near a window beats any lamp. Turn the flash off.
- • Hang the dress on a plain door or wall rather than laying it on a busy duvet.
- • Take the full length, the back, the bodice detail and the hem.
- • Photograph any mark, repair or missing button. Honesty sells faster than perfection.
- • Include the label if the size or brand is printed on it.
Write a description buyers trust
- • Say when it was worn and how often — 'worn once in May' tells a buyer a lot.
- • Mention dry cleaning, alterations or a shortened hem.
- • List what's included: bolero, veil, gloves, bag, hanger.
- • Add chest and length measurements in centimetres — children's sizing varies wildly.
- • Note the colour honestly: ivory, off-white and white photograph almost identically.
Price it to sell
- • Pre-loved communion wear usually sells for 30–60% of the original price.
- • Like-new and in-season pieces sit at the top of that range.
- • Listings priced close to shop price tend to sit unsold.
- • You can lower your price any time from your dashboard.
Handover and safety
- • Buyers contact you directly by email, or by phone if you chose to show your number.
- • Meet in a public place if you're handing over in person.
- • Use a payment method that leaves a record; be wary of anyone rushing you.
- • Post tracked, and keep the receipt until the buyer confirms it arrived.
- • Mark the dress sold in your dashboard so buyers stop enquiring.
Ready when you are.
