<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 9441446, member: 5398"]I especially like the 30's dresses. I don't know if you sell on eBay, but 30's dresses seem to sell well there even if damaged. You could sell them as a lot, but since you already have such nice photos of each dress on a dress form, you may do better selling them individually. I recently sold a badly damaged 30's floral silk dress for over $130 (auction format starting at $8.45). It had several holes, some fairly large that I stabilized with nylon tulle basted to the back, other unrepaired small holes, some mended rips, and several stains, but in the main photograph none of that showed. I pointed out all the condition issues and said the dress would be best used as a costume or for display. It helped that it wasn't an extremely small size. If your 30's dresses are at least a modern size small, they could do quite well on eBay because they have such a typical 30's look. I would hate to see someone cut them up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
