When it comes to buying and selling secondhand festival fashion, clear communication is key. As a Raveival seller, a detailed title/description and an accurate size selection not only ensure your items find the right homes but also help create a more inclusive marketplace for all ravers.
Title
A listing’s title is one of the first things buyers will see. To maximize the title:
- Include the brand name
- Include helpful adjectives (etc. furry, reflective, sparkly, etc.)
- Include the garment type
Description: Help Ravers Compare Body Types
We know that determining fit and size is the most challenging part of shopping for festival wear. That’s why Raveival sellers help buyers compare body types.
In descriptions, sellers include (if it makes sense for the item):
1. Height & bra size
2. Style: skin-tight, form-fitting, regular, relaxed, or baggy
3. Comparison: “Usually a small & would recommend sizing up” “Usually a medium & fits true to size”
Including these details helps us achieve our goal to create a marketplace where everybody and every body feels supported.
Bonus tips!
- Be Detailed: Instead of “cute festival top,” try “hand-beaded, backless halter top with iridescent rhinestones, perfect for a disco or futuristic-themed festival.”
- Include the Quirks: Be upfront about wear and tear. If the fringe is missing a bead or the zipper’s been replaced, let buyers know. Honesty builds trust.
- Mention Brand or Style: Is it vintage, handmade, or from a popular festival brand? These details can make or break a shopper’s decision.
Sizing
Festival fashion isn’t one-size-fits-all, and at Raveival, we’re passionate about making our marketplace as inclusive as possible.
- Choose the Correct Size:
- XXS-XXL
- 1x-5X
- 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (for shoes and numeric sizes)
- One Size
- Other (when there is no size)
Why It Matters
Descriptive titles, body comparison details, and choosing the correct size don’t just help buyers find what they’re looking for; they also help reduce fashion waste.
By putting a little extra effort into your listings, you’re not only making your items shine but also helping Raveival build a sustainable and accessible festival fashion community.
