Dress Prices


Question Posted Thursday February 24 2011, 4:48 pm

I'm selling two dresses, and I need some opinions on what I should ask for them.

The first is a prom dress. It's from last season (2010), and it was 500 dollars bought brand new. It was only worn once for about four hours. I'm not sure how much I should ask for this.

The second is a wedding dress. It was also only worn once obviously. It's from about six years ago and it was worth 3,000 dollars new.

Thanks for any help!

Hey there,

I think I could help you but pictures and designers would help me out.

For prom dresses, last season and already worn takes off anywhere from 20%-40% original price. Department stores would probably cut it in half even on clearance, but you don't want to get ripped off.
The condition of the dress also matters, like are there any stains (check for deoderant stains also), any tears, wrinkles, did you have it altered to fit you? That might also decrease the price you should ask for.

The wedding dress doesn't have to decrease so much because of how old it is, since many are classic designs. As long as it isn't too modern. I would have it cleaned before selling it since it's probably sat in a closet for years.

I'd take at least 20% off the purchase price but no more then 40%.

Good luck,

-Abby
