    Hi, please don't be offended with anything I say..(but this advice is coming from someone with over 1,000 100% feedback).
    If I was selling this,
    I would either have it hanging on a coathanger on the back of a door with no other clutter about in the photograph to distract the customer.
    OR does this dress still fit your wife?..if it does perhaps she could wear it for the photograph..i.e. in the garden (just a plain tree/shrub as background) on a nice sunny day or perhaps in the house with a plain background. (I often move furniture away from the wall in one of my bedrooms to take with a plain painted wall as a background..much to my husbands annoyance).
    Also I would try taking a few more photos...one full length and a close up.
    More measurements would be handy too as when someone is buying a wedding dress they need to know if it will fit as best as they can.
    I really hope this is of help to you and Good Luck with your sale

    Thanks for that info! any ideas other than ebay where i could sell it!


    I think the other ideas have already been given.

    Go to an independant Bridal Store to see if they can sell on for you, or put in a local newspaper
