Emily Beaded Trim Open Front Cropped Blazer
Emily · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Suits & Blazers
Era / Decade
Early 2010s. The garment tag style and the specific silhouette (open front, cropped length) were highly prevalent in department stores during this period.
Material
Polyester blend crepe shell with a polyester satin lining. Features intricate beadwork and sequin embellishments along the trim.
Condition
Very Good. The garment appears structurally sound, though there is visible wrinkling on the interior lining. The exterior fabric looks clean without major pilling.
Demand Level
Moderate. Blazers are consistent sellers, but black dressy jackets are 'niche' until the holiday party season (Nov-Dec) when demand spikes.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$15.00 - $28.00 depending on the platform and size.
Estimated Retail Value
$60.00 - $80.00 (Based on department store pricing for similar mid-market brands like Emily/Emily M).
Comparable Sales
Similar Emily or 'Emily M' embellished blazers have recently sold for $18 to $25 plus shipping on Poshmark. NWT (New With Tag) versions occasionally reach $35.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark or Mercari are ideal for this mid-tier fashion brand. eBay is a secondary option, though competition for generic black blazers is high there.
Selling Tips
Focus on the term 'Holiday' and 'Evening Wear' in keywords. Take a close-up, high-quality photo of the beadwork to show detail. Provide chest and length measurements to minimize returns, as 'Emily' sizing can sometimes run slightly small.
