Tibi Metallic Silver Damask Puff Sleeve Shift Mini Dress
Tibi New York · Clothing & Accessories > Dresses
Era / Decade
Late 2000s to Early 2010s (approx. 2008-2012); based on the older 'Tibi' serif logo tag and the babydoll/puff-sleeve silhouette popular during this period.
Material
Likely a polyester/silk blend jacquard with metallic lurex threads for the silver effect; interior is likely lined with satin or acetate.
Condition
Very Good; the garment appears well-structured with no immediate signs of fraying or staining, though metallic jacquard is prone to minor pulling and underarm discoloration which should be checked.
Demand Level
Moderate; Tibi remains a respected contemporary brand, but older 2010s styles are currently less 'viral' than their modern minimal pieces. Sells best in Q4 (Holiday season).

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
The RealReal (for quick turnover), Poshmark, or Mercari. Poshmark is ideal for reaching buyers specifically searching for 'metallic holiday' or 'vintage Tibi'.
Selling Tips
Photograph in natural light to capture the 'shimmer' of the metallic threads; use keywords like 'Cocktail', 'Holiday Party', 'Metallic Jacquard', 'Puff Sleeve', and 'Bridal Shower'. Provide bust and length measurements as vintage-leaning Tibi can run small.
