What a used blouse is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for blouses, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £38 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £32 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £24 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £17 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £9 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a blouse
- Silk and quality natural fibres
- Designer and contemporary labels
- Intact seams and working closures
- No underarm marks or deodorant damage
What lowers it
- 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
How to work out what yours is worth
- Check the underarms in daylight
- Hold the fabric to the light for snags and thinning
- Read the composition label
Once you have those three answers you can place your own blouse on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
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.
How should I photograph a blouse?
On a hanger in daylight, with a close-up of the fabric. Drape and sheen are what buyers are assessing.
