Buying women’s clothing in New Orleans
New Orleans has an architectural and musical culture unlike anywhere else in the country, built below sea level between the river and the lake. The city was reshaped by flooding in 2005 and that history is still central to how people here think about property and storage.
Women’s clothing is the deepest part of the second-hand market and the part where sizing is least consistent, so being able to try something on is worth more here than anywhere else. Two size twelves from different decades can be inches apart.
What to check in person
Try it on rather than holding it up, and pay attention to the shoulders and the waist, which are the hardest things to alter. Check the zip runs cleanly, look at the seams inside for splitting, and hold darker fabrics to the light for thinning.
Collecting it in New Orleans
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The older neighbourhoods have narrow streets and limited parking, so agree where a vehicle can actually stop. Parade season closes large parts of the city for weeks, so check the calendar before arranging anything large.
Selling your women’s clothing in New Orleans free
A strong musical culture means instruments circulate here constantly and knowledgeably. The old housing stock brings genuinely old furniture onto the market, and storm seasons force periodic replacement.
Give the flat measurements across the chest, waist and hem rather than the label size, because sizing is the single commonest reason a sale goes wrong. Say the fabric composition if the label is still readable. Coats and boots from the first cold week; dresses and lighter pieces from spring.
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
