Special Note: Currently, we are waiving our
$25 fee for a six month listing of your gown, so be sure to take
advantage while this special lasts.
How it Works
The dresses you will find in our catalog all
authentic designer gowns. Many are brand new, never worn gowns, and
others are worn once, and in like new condition. If you
sell your gown through us, it needs to be (1) a designer gown
and (2) in new or like new condition. That means you need
to have your gown cleaned or it needs to be like new.
We work as a
"broker" for the resale of gowns. That means that we find
the buyer for you, and take a 30% commission from the sales
price once the sale is final. Once we have finalized
the sale and the Buyer has paid for the gown, you will be
notified. As the "Seller," if the gown does not reside
with us in our office, you are responsible for shipping the gown
to the potential Buyer once they have paid for the gown.
You will be reimbursed $25 towards the cost of sending and
insuring the gown (for your protection, we highly suggest you
insure the gown). The dress needs to be shipped within 5
business days of notification of the sale. If the gown is
in our office, we will take care of shipping for you.
Buyer's do have a right to return the gown to us
for any reason for up to
three (3)
business days after receipt of the gown. This return
policy builds confidence with our customers that our dresses are
indeed as described, so it is very important to disclose any
potential issues with the dress when listing it with us, to
lessen the possibility of a return. We work closely with
our buyers to make sure that the dress is right for them, also
to lessen the potential for returns. If the Buyer
does not request a return within the three day period after
confirmation of receipt of the gown, your sale is considered
complete. At that point we will remit to you, within 30
days, your sale price minus our 30% commission. It is our
responsibility to collect and pay any sales tax due on the sale.
If the Buyer decides to return the gown within the three day
period, the sale is cancelled and Buyer will be responsible to
return ship the gown to the Seller in its original condition
within five (5) business days (the gown does not need to arrive
to Seller in five days, only be shipped within that time).
Upon return receipt to Seller, the gown will be inspected to be
sure it has been returned in its original condition. Upon
verification, Buyer's money will be refunded by us to them, less
shipping charges and a restocking fee. Cost of return-shipping
is borne by Buyer.
Cleaning, Sizing and Preparing Your Gown to
List
You have two choices when listing your gown with
us:
(1) If you are in the San Diego area, we recommend you
come in for an appointment with your gown. There is a $35
fee for this appointment, but we will go over the dress with
you, recommend any cleaning or repairs that need to happen, and
discuss pricing, etc. We usually keep your dress for a few days
while we photograph it and get it ready to advertise. If
we have room, you may choose to leave your gown with us for
clients to see in person, but this option may vary depending on
our current stock. We do reserve the right to refuse a
gown based on condition or style.
(2) If you are not in the San Diego area,
no problem, we can send you a Sales Agreement and all the
information you'll need to list your gown. You'll need to
send us several pictures of your gown, including some close-ups
if possible. Please follow these instructions when getting
your gown ready to sell, sizing it and providing information:

Are
you ready to sell your gown? More and more brides are
consigning or reselling their gowns. Just think of all the
beautiful gowns out there, destined to spend the rest of their
"lives" hidden away in a box. How sad to think that such a
beautiful gown, with so many hours of hard work put into it,
only gets to be worn and enjoyed one time. Think of the
joy your gown can bring to another bride, not to mention
recouping a bit of your original costs.
