Selling a slip dress in Canada

Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

Getting it ready

Read the composition label: silk, satin-finish polyester and viscose are very different products.
Inspect the straps, any adjusters, and the bias seams for pulls or puckering.

Fabric, cut and size: “100% Silk Bias Cut Slip Dress, Champagne, Size 10”. Fibre is the whole price difference here. Say bias cut if it is, and state the length — slips run from mini to full length.

Extremely light. Fold with tissue — silk and bias cuts crease and snag easily in transit.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$94 a buyer pays is the C$94 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell a slip dress in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Are the straps adjustable?

Check and say. Fixed straps make the fit far less forgiving and buyers ask.

What makes a slip dress valuable?

Silk content, above all. Pure silk holds value strongly; polyester slip dresses sell for very little despite looking similar.

What is a bias cut?

Fabric cut diagonally to the weave so it drapes and clings. It is what gives a slip dress its hang, and it should fall straight.
