Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.
What holds its value across Ted Baker
- Tailored suits and blazers, which are the strongest part of the label and are bought secondhand specifically for weddings and interviews
- Occasion and cocktail dresses in the distinctive floral prints, which buyers search by print rather than by style name
- Older pieces from before the 2018 restructuring, which were made to a noticeably different standard and are recognised as such
- Pieces still carrying their branded buttons, linings and hanging loops, which are the details that identify the label at a glance
What pulls Ted Baker resale value down
- Pilled or thinned wool on the tailoring, since the whole appeal is that it still looks sharp
- Faded prints on the dresses, where the print is the reason a buyer chose it
- Missing branded buttons, which are distinctive enough that a replacement is always visible
- Anything from the outlet and clearance channel, which was built to a lower spec and sells accordingly
Identifying and dating yours
- The interior label carries the Ted Baker size numbering, which runs 0 to 5 rather than standard sizing and confuses buyers — state the equivalent in your listing
- Branded lining and engraved buttons are the label’s signature and worth photographing close up
- Older garments carry a different label design, which is how buyers date a piece to the pre-restructuring era
What lifts any blouse, whatever the label
Blouses cover everything from silk designer pieces to polyester basics, and the fabric label tells you which market you are in.
- Silk and quality natural fibres
- Designer and contemporary labels
- Intact seams and working closures
- No underarm marks or deodorant damage
And what pulls one down
- Underarm staining, which is often permanent on silk
- Snags and pulls in delicate fabric
- Missing buttons and broken closures
- Polyester basics, which sell for very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the underarms in daylight
- Hold the fabric to the light for snags and thinning
- Read the composition label
What to state in the listing
- Bust, waist, shoulder and length measured flat
- Fabric composition and whether it is lined
- Whether the fabric is sheer
- Sleeve length and neckline, and any mark or snag
Fabric, style and size: “Silk Button Through Blouse, Cream, Size 10”. Fibre is the price driver — silk, viscose and polyester sit at very different levels. Say whether it is sheer, because that decides whether the buyer needs something underneath.
Preparing and photographing it
- Measure bust, waist, shoulder and length laid flat.
- Check for underarm marks and deodorant staining, which is the most common reason a blouse is unsellable.
- Hold it to the light and check whether it is sheer, and whether it is lined.
- Laid flat or on a hanger, front, whole garment
- The fabric close up, showing texture and pattern accurately
- The composition label
- The underarms, buttons and any mark, snag or pull
When it sells best, and handing it over
Steady with a lift in spring and before the party season. Silk and quality viscose sell fastest.
Very light and cheap to post. Fold with tissue in the creases for silk and delicate fabrics.
What buyers ask
What size is a Ted Baker 3?
Ted Baker uses its own 0 to 5 numbering rather than standard UK sizes, and a 3 generally corresponds to a UK 12. State the standard equivalent and the flat measurements in your listing, because this numbering is the single biggest source of returns on the label.
Does Ted Baker hold its value?
Modestly. It sells steadily rather than at a premium, and the tailoring and occasion dresses do best. Everyday pieces compete directly with the high street and are priced against it.
How much is a Ted Baker blouse worth?
Roughly £8 to £38 depending on condition, against £8 to £38 for blouses generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
What the fees would take elsewhere
