Posting A Long Dress

[squidgster]

Hi. Am thinking of putting a long ball gown style dress on Ebay. I may seem a bit dense for not knowing this, but how would I go about sending this to whoever buys it? Can't just shove it in a box or envelope like most things! :o)

Thanks!

The nicest way to send it, would be by folding it in three, Fold the sides in first and then fold the hem up to the middle of the dress and then the bodice to the middle.

Wrap the dress in tissue paper and then ideally place in a Polythene bag, guarding against moisture. Then place the dress in either a suitably sized padded jiffy bag or a box, which can be purchase at any Royal Mail post office.

I agree.
Fold in 3 down length,with tissue down folds, then fold in 3 again with tissue. In a box would be better than a bag if you don't want to get it too crushed. Remember to weigh it before quoting postage.
Good luck. An avid Ebayer!

I agree with both Velvetee and bigsister - or you could ask them to collect the item from your home. The only problem with that is you would'nt get too many people interested in bidding.

I sell on Ebay and have sent parcels all over the world (with no problems, I might add), if anything, I get more problems with sending stuff to London .

Good luck
