What a used skirt is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for skirts, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £35 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £29 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £22 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £15 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £8 | 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 skirt
- Natural fabrics with good weight and drape
- Lined skirts with intact linings
- Designer and contemporary labels
- Working zips and fastenings
What lowers it
- Torn or twisted linings
- Broken zips and missing hooks
- Pilling on woollen fabrics
- Thin unlined polyester
How to work out what yours is worth
- Check the lining is intact and hangs straight
- Work the zip fully
- Measure the waist and length flat
Once you have those three answers you can place your own skirt 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 skirt worth selling?
Fabric and lining. A lined skirt in natural cloth holds value; a thin unlined synthetic one sells for very little.
Does a torn lining matter?
Yes, more than buyers expect. It is visible when worn and repairs are fiddly, so photograph it.
Should I give measurements?
Always. Waist and length flat, since skirt sizing varies widely between labels.
