Selling a midi dress in the UAE

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

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.

The Emirates is a pre-launch market, so this is what a seller here should expect when it opens. The population turns over unusually fast, and that shapes the whole market: relocation sales put nearly-new furniture, appliances and cars on the market at heavy discounts, and the best stock appears in concentrated bursts as people leave. Distances are short and courier coverage is quick and cheap, so postage is rarely the obstacle it is elsewhere. Expect buyers to move fast and to expect a reply the same day.

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

De-bobble knitted fabrics before photographing
Measure bust, waist and length

Getting it ready

Measure the full length from the shoulder seam to the hem, plus bust, waist and hip laid flat.
Check the zip runs cleanly and look for underarm staining, which is the most common reason a dress is unsellable.

Photograph

The zip, the lining, and any stain, snag or pull

Put in the description

Shoulder-to-hem length in centimetres
Bust, waist and hip measured flat
Zip or button fastening, and whether it has pockets

Light and cheap to post. Fold with tissue in the creases if the fabric is prone to wrinkling and say you have done so.

Strongest from March to August, with a second lift before the party season. Off-season listings sell noticeably slower.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 247 a buyer pays is the AED 247 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 midi dresses.

Common questions

Where can I sell a midi 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.

Is it lined?

Check and say. An unlined dress in a thin fabric is a different product and buyers who have been caught before always ask.

Do midi dresses sell well second hand?

Yes, they are among the more reliable clothing categories because they work across seasons and occasions.

What puts buyers off?

Underarm marks and bobbling. Both are checked closely and both are worth addressing before you photograph.
