Dressbarn Purple Paisley Pleated Scoop Neck Blouse
Dressbarn · Clothing & Accessories > Tops > Blouses
Era / Decade
Late 2000s to Early 2010s; evidenced by the specific brand logo font and the heavy mixed-print 'boho-chic' aesthetic popular at that time.
Material
Likely a 100% Polyester or Polyester blend; the outer fabric has a slight sheen indicative of synthetic crepe or satin, with a standard jersey or polyester lining.
Condition
Very Good; the item appears well-maintained with no visible stains or snags. However, the presence of minor wrinkling and the age of the brand suggests light previous wear.
Demand Level
Low to Moderate; Dressbarn shifted to online-only models and lost some brand recognition, but there is still a loyal secondary market for their 'career-wear' tops.
Resale Value

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, Poshmark, or Mercari are best. It may also do well in a local 'buy-sell-trade' group for teachers or office workers. Not recommended for high-end consignment.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Career Wear', 'Office Blouse', 'Boho Paisley', and 'Teacher Style'. Provide measurements (Pit-to-Pit and Length) as this brand's sizing changed over the years. Use a steamer to remove wrinkles before photographing to improve the presentation of the pleats.
