Used blouses in the UAE typically sell for AED 40 to AED 190 (about $11 to $51). Blouses cover everything from silk designer pieces to polyester basics, and the fabric label tells you which market you are in.

Selling a blouse 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.
Working out what yours is worth
- Hold the fabric to the light for snags and thinning
- Read the composition label
Getting it ready
- 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.

Put in the description
- Bust, waist, shoulder and length measured flat
- Fabric composition and whether it is lined
- Sleeve length and neckline, and any mark or snag
Very light and cheap to post. Fold with tissue in the creases for silk and delicate fabrics.
Steady with a lift in spring and before the party season. Silk and quality viscose sell fastest.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 188 a buyer pays is the AED 188 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.
Where in the UAE
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 blouses.
Common questions
Where can I sell a blouse 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.
Any marks under the arms?
Inspect in daylight. Underarm staining is the single most common hidden flaw in used blouses and the one buyers most resent.
What makes a blouse worth selling?
Fabric and label. Silk and designer pieces hold value; polyester basics sell for very little whatever the style.
Can underarm marks be removed from silk?
Often not. Deodorant reacts with silk and the damage is frequently permanent, so check before listing.
