Need advice about selling a bridesmaid dress

I have a BM dress that I wore for my sister's wedding from Davids Bridal. It was only worn once and is in perfect condition.

What is the best place to sell it? Ebay? Cragslist? I was thinking of posting on LIW but not sure if it's allowedChat Icon Chat Icon

Do you know if I could post it on the Knot.com?Chat Icon

Not sure what to do here...

People have been successful selling on ebay, but I mean, they are super cheap prices.

I donated mine. They don't go for much if anything on ebay, especially since it was probably altered for you.

You can post it on LIW.

I know a lot of girls sell their wedding dresses on there too.

Only in length. It is a perfect size 4P.

I think I will try ebay. I just refuse to donate it without at least trying to get some money back after all that I spent on that stupid dress...Chat Icon Chat Icon

Def try eBay. Best advice is to look and see if other similar dresses are also listed. See how many hits the auction has had and if there are bids.

Good luck! Chat Icon

BM dresses aren't successful on LIW. You're better off on ebay.

I've donated all my BM dresses.

if you cant find anyone to buy it, you can have a seamstress change it to a style you would wear again. Or, you can always donate it! i remember someone had a charity last year for girls who couldnt afford prom dresses.

I donated a bunch! I did however sell my David's crinoline on Ebay for a great price so it might be worst a shot.

I donated all of mine too. In fact, I have one that was never worn (for my sister's wedding - she called it off the week of) that is in my car to drop off. I am going to donate it for the Long Island Prom Boutique coming up in April.

I'd do craigslist, and if it doesn't sell donate it, or dye it black so you can wear it again if you want
