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 midi skirt, whatever the label
Midi lengths sell year-round, which makes them steadier than seasonal pieces, though supply is heavy.
- Structured fabrics that hold a shape
- Pleats that are still sharp
- Designer and contemporary labels
- Full linings in good condition
And what pulls one down
- Pleats that have dropped or lost definition
- Bobbling on knitted midi skirts
- Stretched waistbands
- Very trend-specific prints
Working out what yours is worth
- Check pleats are still sharp and evenly spaced
- Inspect the waistband for stretching
- Measure the waist and full length
What to state in the listing
- Waist, hip and waist-to-hem length in centimetres
- Fabric composition and whether it is lined
- Cut: A-line, bias, pleated or straight
- Whether there is a slit, and the fastening type
Fabric, style and length: “Satin Bias Cut Midi Skirt, Sage, Size 10, 78cm”. Put the centimetre length in the title — on different heights a midi becomes a maxi or a knee-length, and that mismatch is the main reason these come back.
Preparing and photographing it
- Measure the flat waist, hip and length from waistband to hem.
- Check the zip, any slit, and whether the skirt is lined.
- Look at the hem for wear and the fabric for pulls, especially on knits and satins.
- Full length on a hanger or laid flat, front
- A tape running waistband to hem
- The fabric close up, showing texture and drape
- The zip, lining and any snag or mark
When it sells best, and handing it over
Strongest spring through summer with a second lift before the party season. Satin and pleated styles sell fastest.
Light and cheap to post. Fold with tissue for satin and bias cuts, which crease sharply.
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 midi skirt worth?
Roughly £10 to £40 depending on condition, against £10 to £40 for midi skirts generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
