Best way to sell wedding dress / cleaning question

67 Posts


Hi there, my wife would like to sell her wedding dress. We have been selling a lot of items on ebay hut wanted some recommendations for any specialist sites where we could list this? Also would be good to know if there are places that buy second hand dresses. There are some dirty marks on it at the moment but a quote for cleaning from a long time ago was very expensive. Any recommendations on this too? We are based in Essex. Thanks

It's worth checking out similar dresses to see whether they are selling and at what cost to work out if it is worthwhile, once you factor in the cost of getting it properly cleaned first.
Bear in mind that there is typically a massive drop in value from what you pay new.
You may do better asking on any specialist wedding forums / sites as most people are not going to have much experience or have done it more than once at the most.
In terms of cleaning, it may be feasible to handwash the areas that need cleaning but that depends on the dress obviously.
