Niki by Niki Sivvas · Clothing & Accessories > Formal Dresses
Era / Decade
Late 1990s to Early 2000s (Y2K era), evidenced by the spaghetti strap halter neck, iridescent sheen of the fabric, and specific brand label style.
Material
Likely 100% Polyester with a satin/shantung finish and plastic/glass bead embellishments. The fabric has an iridescent/metallic sheen common in late 90s formalwear.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The dress shows significant wrinkling which is common for stored formalwear but fixable. Beads appear mostly intact at the neckline, though the hemline should be checked for dragging wear.
Demand Level
Moderate. Demand peaks during Prom season (March-May) and Homecoming (September-October). High interest currently for 'Vintage Prom' and '90s Gowns'.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$45.00 - $85.00

Flaws to Note
Heavy wrinkling requires professional steaming; potential for missing beads (check high-wear areas under arms); check the very bottom of the hem for fraying or dirt marks from past wear.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop or Poshmark are the best venues for this style due to the high volume of users looking for 'Y2K Prom' and 'Vintage Formals'. eBay is a secondary option for international reach.
Selling Tips
MUST be steamed before photographing; a wrinkled formal dress sells for much less. Use keywords like 'Y2K', 'Vintage Prom', '90s Formal', 'Ruby Red', and 'Beaded Halter'. Provide exact measurements for bust, waist, and length as vintage sizing (Size 10) often runs smaller than modern standards.
