Your Photos Are Your Listing's First Impression
A well-lit, clear photo of a good costume will always outsell a blurry photo of a great one. Here's how to take photos that actually sell.
Natural Light is Everything
Find a bright spot near a window or go outside. Avoid using your phone's flash — it flattens the colours and washes out rhinestones.
Show the Full Item
Lay the costume flat on a clean white or neutral background, or hang it on a hanger against a plain wall. Show the complete item in the first photo.
Get the Details
Rhinestones, embroidery, and special features are selling points. Take a close-up that shows them clearly.
Be Honest About Wear
If there's a small mark or missing stone, photograph it. Buyers appreciate honesty and it prevents disputes later.
The Ideal Photo Set
- Full front view
- Full back view
- Close-up of embellishments
- Size label
- Any wear or repairs
Five photos takes five minutes and can make the difference between selling and not selling.
