We get it—because we’ve been there.

We started Bridestrades to change that: a place where you can sell the dresses you don’t need, shop for ones you will, and make sure your investment doesn’t go to waste.

How It Works

How To Photograph Your Dress

Clear photos = faster sales. Use this checklist before you upload:

Hang the dress on a simple/light background (neutral door/wall is perfect).
Natural lighting is the best!
Capture the front, back, and close-up details of your dress.
Include the tag (if applicable), so buyers know brand and size.
Show any minor flaws or alterations, and be honest!
If possible, include a photo of the dress being worn — already have one from the wedding? Reuse it, no new photo needed!

Photobook Guidelines

Only Front View and Back View are required to publish your listing. Everything below is optional — but the more you add, the faster your dress tends to sell. Already have a photo of yourself wearing the dress (like from the wedding)? Use that as your Front View — no new photo needed.

01

Front View — Required

Full-length image of the dress on model, hanger, or person

02

Back View — Required

Full-length photo showing the entire back of the dress

03

Neckline & Shoulder Details — Optional

Close-up of top portion, including straps, sleeves, and neckline

04

Fabric & Color Detail — Optional

Close-up that clearly shows true color and texture of the dress

05

Tag & Label — Optional

Clear photo of the brand label or size tag, if applicable.

06

Wear, Flaws, & Alterations — Optional

Close up of imperfections, adjustments, or alterations (e.g., “Hem shortened 2 inches, worn with 3-inch heels”)
