Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or Depop (if styled as vintage/retro). Best for local consignment or yard sales due to low value-to-shipping ratio.
Selling Tips
Steam the garment before photographing; list as 'Polka Dot' and 'Summer Top'; consider bundling with another similar-sized shirt to justify shipping costs for the buyer; use daylight for photos to show the blush color accurately.
