What to do before shipping your dress

Before sending your wedding dress to the buyer, it's important to ensure it arrives in the expected condition.

Follow these steps to protect yourself and provide a smooth transaction:

1. Inspect the Dress Thoroughly

• Remove the dress from storage or preservation packaging and carefully check that its condition matches your listing description.
• Look for any loose threads, missing buttons, or other minor issues that may need attention.
• Check for stains or discoloration that may have developed over time.

2. Document the Dress Condition

• Take clear, high-quality photos of the dress from all angles, including close-ups of details like lace, beading, and any labels.
• If possible, record a short video to further document its condition before packaging.

3. Prepare for Secure Shipping

• Use a sturdy box and protective packaging materials to keep the dress safe in transit.
• Consider including a garment bag for extra protection.
• Choose a shipping service with tracking, insurance, and signature on delivery for added security.

Taking these steps helps ensure a smooth sale, reduces the risk of disputes, and gives both you and the buyer peace of mind.
