Sell Your Bridesmaid Dress in the UAE

Used bridesmaid dresses in the UAE typically sell for AED 35 to AED 180 (about $10 to $49). Bridesmaid dresses are worn once and often bought in several sizes, so the second-hand market is well supplied and condition is usually very close to unworn.

Selling a bridesmaid dress in the UAE

Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.

Domestic courier coverage is quick and cheap by international standards, and most of the population is within a short drive of everyone else.

Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.

Turnover peaks around the summer, when a large share of relocations happen and whole households are sold at once.

Getting it ready

Identify the colour by the maker’s own name if you can, since bridesmaid parties match shades precisely.
Measure bust, waist, hip and full length, and note any alteration and remaining seam allowance.

Put in the description

Colour by the maker’s name, and photographed in daylight
Brand, size, and bust, waist, hip and length measurements
Fabric, whether lined, and whether it has been cleaned

Fold with tissue in a garment bag, or post in a box for structured styles. Long dresses crease badly and arrive looking poor if crushed.

Peaks from spring through summer with wedding season. Listing in winter usually means waiting.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 445 a buyer pays is the AED 445 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

The United Arab Emirates is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of the United Arab Emirates with their own page for bridesmaid dresses.

Common questions

Where can I sell a bridesmaid dress in the UAE?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.

Has it been altered?

Say what was done and how much allowance is left. Buyers plan their own alterations and need to know the limits.

Do bridesmaid dresses sell well?

Yes, they are worn once and usually in excellent condition. Popular colours sell faster than unusual ones.

Why does colour accuracy matter so much?

Buyers are matching a wedding palette. Photograph in natural light and describe the shade carefully, or expect returns.
