I'm not sure this fits in here (or really, if it fits anywhere on the Forum) but I thought there must be a mum somewhere in ED who knows the answer to this. Long ago, waaaaaaaay before the kids arrived, I had the kind of job that required a lot of socialising/networking in the evening, award ceremonies, premieres, etc. So, I have a few designer evening gowns (inc some never worn) that I am looking to sell but I don't quite know where (they are not Ebay material I don't think). Does anyone have any idea how to go about this type of thing? Is there a reputable place/website for this?


Thanks for any pointers.

I might actually disagree about eBay. What exactly are the dresses, brand wise? You may well get extremely good prices, especially on the items with tags still intact. I regularly sell on ebay, I also watch designer goods and one off pieces very often. When you can display to the best of your ability that an item is genuine through tagging (even better with a receipt) then you actually can make amazing money on designers through eBay, even without in cases, some people literally will buy anything. Prada and Gucci items shipping from China etc regularly sell into the hundreds, I'd be very weary of that, especially with no authenticity certificate or such. Just make sure you track your parcel and list the item to the best of your knowledge. Selling to a worldwide audience will increase your views and watchers too, for designers especially in Europe. Especially if your items would now be classed as vintage, and aren't available to buy any longer!


Paraphernalia looks good but then it depends on how much they will pay you for your items, and how much they charge to sell/commission?! Would need to look in to before deciding..

Hi all, thanks for the suggestions! In my research I also found this website www.champagne&lemonade.com, which seems good too.


Right, I need to check all the options and see. Might even get a taste for it and start emtying wardrobes; which would actually be quite cathartic, I imagine!

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
