Will my dress be harder to sell because it is older??? Generally gowns that are over the age of 5 years will be harder to sell simply because of styles changing. There are however many gowns which stay in style for years and don't age much at all. If your gown is older, has a different design or colour it may take a bit longer to sell.... but it can be a good thing as well!!!
Should I be dry cleaning my gown before I sell it??? Generally it is a good idea to have your gown dry cleaned before you sell it. However when you having potentail brides to be to try on your gown, please make sure that you ask them to wear minimum make up before trying on the gown to avoid any make up stains.
