Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark or Mercari are best for this brand. eBay is a secondary option. Facebook Marketplace is less ideal unless in a local professional-heavy area
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Modest', 'Workwear', 'Emerald', and 'Bohemian Professional'. Photograph the pleating detail in natural light to show depth. Ship via USPS Priority Mail or padded poly-mailer to keep costs low. Essential to include bust, waist, and length measurements as Nanette Lepore can sometimes run small
