    hi im going to sell my dress on so someone else can enjoy it rather than it being stored away.i was wondering if you was buyin a second hand dress would you dry clean first..i think i would but i have noticed people have bought it then cleaned it them self!

    I guess if I was selling it I'd clean it but also if I bought it I'd clean it too so it'd probably be cleaned twice lol xx

    If I was selling it then yes I would get in dry cleaned. I think most people who have brought a second hand dress would also have it cleaned but I think its only polite to sell a clean dress x x x

    i would clean first, just because if i bought a second hand dress it would be nice to see it all clean the first time, makes it a bit more exciting i think, rather than looking at it and thinking, it's lovely but needs a clean.
    plus, if you mention that you've had it dry cleaned you might get more interest xxx

    I agree, although I would probably clean it when I received the dress I would be really disappointed and a bit put off if it arrived dirty. xxx

    I was looking at second hand sites and most of the dresses on there had been dry cleaned. Be warned though - it can be pretty pricey! x

    I've just bought my dress second hand and that hasn't been dry cleaned - but I'm not fussed I'm happy to do it myself then I know it's done thouroghly. Plus compared to the amount I've saved paying for dry cleaning myself is nothing.
    I think you should have a look and see exactly how clean it is then decide
    I don't think you should pay that amount just to be selling it - unless you add the 100 back onto your selling price
