Today I took my dress out of the dry cleaner bag to take measurements as a I was ready to sell my dress.  Upon discovery, my dress got damaged either at the wedding or by the dry cleaner.  Since I don’t know I can’t do anything about it.  But now what do I do with my dress?  I really would like to try to sell it, because I don’t need it around my house anymore. 

My dress is a Mori Lee 1602 and the bottom half has a layer of lace under the top layer of organza.  The damage is only to the top layer of organza on the train where my bustle was.  It got ripped on the end bustles. The dress would be perfect again with just a new layer of organza.

Do I just forget about selling it or try to sell it at a really discounted price?

I think you could still sell it as long as you’re upfront about the damage and know it’s a reasonable cost to repair it.

I would probably just take a picture of the damage and a picture of the dress as a whole so they can see what it looks like relative to the whole dress and discount it a little more.  I would still buy a dress that had some damage to the back, especially if it wasn’t that noticeable.
