Fair means a fault the seller has named, and it prices women’s clothing at about 45% of the top grade: $4 to $91 across this category (about £3 to £68). A named fault: a stretched neckline that will not recover, a snagged weave, a broken fastening, or a stain that stayed in.
Where the line falls
Women’s sizing is not a measurement: the same label number varies between brands and between decades, so condition and cut are read together and a size label alone settles nothing.
For comparison, one grade up is Good Women’s Clothing and one step down is For Parts Women’s Clothing.

Listing at the Fair grade
Photograph the fault on the body or on a form, not flat. Some faults vanish flat and reappear the moment the piece is worn.
Shots that carry the most weight in women’s clothing:
- Wrap Dress — On a hanger, front, tied as worn
- Blouse — The fabric close up, showing texture and pattern accurately
- Cardigan — The composition label
- Cocktail Dress — The fabric and any embellishment close up

Does the fault show when it is on?
Still wearable and still the right shape overall, but with a defect that shows when it is worn rather than only on the hanger.
