Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, eBay, and Mercari are best. Poshmark is especially strong for Mother of the Bride/Groom attire. Facebook Marketplace is a good secondary option for local shoppers needing a last-minute event outfit.
Selling Tips
Steam this item before photographing to show the true quality of the jacquard fabric. Use keywords like 'Mother of the Bride,' 'Metallic,' 'Cocktail,' 'Wedding Guest,' and 'Formal.' Photograph the jacket and dress separately as well as together. Measure the bust and length, as formal sizing can run small.
