What to do with wedding and BM FG dresses

Passing this info on for a friend.

'The Consignment Bridal Boutique'

> Ladies,
>
> Have you ever thought about the amount of money you have spent on
> wedding attire? The chances are you will never wear it again! How about
> those of you who have been in numerous bridal parties and have spent
> thousands of dollars on dresses, shoes and accessories? Well, after
> some serious thought on the subject I have decided to do something
> about it.
>
> Within the next few months I will be launching a website called 'The
> Consignment Bridal Boutique'. My mission is to help you recoup some of
> your hard earned money by offering a consignment service to sell your
> previously worn wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses. As I am just
> beginning this venture I am in need of inventory to post on my website.
> I am asking for donations of wedding gowns and either all or some of
> the bridesmaid dresses from your bridal parties including flower girl
> dresses. After the dresses have been posted and hopefully sold on my
> website you will receive 40% of the selling price. If after a year the
> dress has not been sold, you will have the option of having it returned
> to you or I will donate it to a worthy charity where someone less
> fortunate will have the opportunity to enjoy it.
>
> All donated dresses should be of a current style - nothing prior to Year
> 2000 collections. The dress must have been cleaned, in excellent
> saleable condition and free of any snags, holes or stains. All
> zippers must be in working order and all buttons and beading intact. I
> will also be accepting any accessories or shoes that were dyed to
> match. For example if the dress came with a shawl or you
> had a bag dyed to match that you haven't used since - send it my way and
> I'll try to sell it for you! Again, please make sure that all donations
> are in saleable condition, free of any stains or excessive
> wear.
>
> Each gown or dress collection on my website will be described in detail
> and exact measurements given so that the buyer is fully informed. Full
> sets of bridesmaid dresses are more valuable, but I
> will gladly accept any bridesmaid dress you have that meets the
> previously specified requirements. If for any reason I don't feel that
> I will be successful in selling your dress or gown it will kindly be
> returned to you at no charge.
>
> While there is no fee to list your dress on my website, the consignment
> charge will be a flat 60% of the selling price. This will leave you
> with 40% of whatever I am able to sell your dress for and let's face it
> - that's more than you had before! As previously mentioned - I am only
> asking for donations at this time which means you only make money if I
> am able to sell it.
>
> Any way you look at it, everyone wins in this business. You have the
> potential to recover some of your investment, someone else will have
> the chance to wear a beautiful gown or dress that didn't cost them a
> fortune and I will get the chance to follow my dream of opening a
> consignment boutique. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I
> look forward to doing business with you!
