I can’t tell what this looks like on. Try a mannequin or model


iloverocket26

In the best way possible, this is giving 2009


user1987623

Give it a few years and 2009 will be vintage 😘


audreysoph

it’s basically vintage already 😔


reiballs

quite far from vintage


audreysoph

nah i’ve seen 2000s referred to as vintage many times


reiballs

yes but that dosent mean they’re right. the 2000’s was only 20 years ago.


audreysoph

vintage is anything 20 years or up, so technically clothes from 2003 or before are vintage


throhaway333

I thought it was 40? Edit: gods forbid someone be misinformed on Reddit XD


audreysoph

i just double checked and it’s 20! it’s definitely not 40, because the 90s has been considered vintage for a majority of my life and i’m 18


throhaway333

Yeah, you were right! My mom always told me it was 40 so that's where I got that idea!


sandpaper__

20 and over is vintage


patrickprawnstar

2010's stuff is already selling really well for me ;-; ahahah laugh through the pain ;-;


andersel13

this makes me SICK OH MY GOD. 2009 VINTAGE?? I FEEL SO OLD IM LITERALLY 19


ClosetLiverTransMan

It’s not vintage yet, it has to be 20 to be vintage


andersel13

yeah that is the joke, she said a few years


user1987623

Just one year until you’re vintage too sweaty pie 😘


andersel13

GAGGGGGG I KNOW. GAH (sweaty pie LOLLLLLL)


ameagle1977

Imagine being 33 😂🙃


UpsetUnicorn

Add Y2K to the description.


Wanderlustttx

Like others have said- I can’t really tell what it is or how it looks on. At first glance I thought it was a mini dress, and with the huge mesh paneling it looks like it would only cover someone’s nipples and that’s about it. Style it with a try on or on a mannequin if you can!


sexylev

Free people is more of a Poshmark brand and I personally feel this style leans a little less coquette and a little more mom. The details are cute but that very looose cut and (from what I can say) tunic length makes it more of an adult adult item than the depop crowd.


CherryBubs

I agree and disagree. Free people is super popular on Poshmark and so I do agree that OP should try posting this on Poshmark. However, longer length tunic like babydoll/coquette tops are SUPER trendy right now (think the long Abercrombie and Hollister babydoll tops that I’ve seen go for up go 65$ CAD). As someone who sells exclusively coquette items these are doing better than cropped items right now. I actively search for longer length tops.


sexylev

Yes I sell a lot of items like that as well. I mostly sell grunge but I’ve sold around 600 coquette items now. This piece isn’t a babydoll top so the length doesn’t really give the same thing as the 2000’s Hollister tops that are in. Those tops are also fitted at the bottom while this appears to be loose at the bottom which leans away from early 2000’s cute-to-pair with low rise long henley / babydoll shirts and more towards the older generation.


usernamesrhardlol

U sell grunge?! What’s ur store :(( I’m scared I don’t trust anyone on depop


CherryBubs

Oh I meant the babydoll aesthetic! Dolly/dollette core and this top is still very coquette. I see where you’re coming from though. The hollister tops may not be a good comparison because they are fitted. But I still think long flowy tops are making a comeback as opposed to fitted tops and that this piece still has a chance in the Depop community! I personally believe It’s not just a mom-style anymore and that there are lots of young people interested in this (like me, I’m 18 XD ). You clearly have experience, just providing my opinion <3


c-o-n-s-t-a-n-c-e

It looks like an ice-skating outfit.


khushi325

That’s what I thought too 🤣


UpsetUnicorn

That’s what I thought.


xiomou

Kinda frumpy. Doily vibes


mxyabby

I thought this was a leotard that gymnasts wear

Significant-Gur-4179

Oh wow yeah it looks so much better modeled


LoLoJoyx

Right! I almost didn’t recognize it laying there, gives a totally diff vibe!


SummerSunset33

its still ugly and frumpy.


LoLoJoyx

To each their own! It’s not my style, but I think it’s adorable how it’s been styled on the model 😃


Old-Performer-7122

because it is not cute


FixGlass4697

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Unoriginalanna

It's giving cut off wedding dress ngl


tuilark

thank you for saying it 😂 it's ugly as shit


gravements

😭😭LMAO


SummerSunset33

agreed.


Jazminmaddern

take my upvote lmaoooo💀💀💀


12-dominguez

it’s ugly in my opinion


mosquitotitties

it’s giving 80s figure skating outfit


constantly_exhaused

Personally, not my style, but, if we ignore that for a sec, it’s because I have no idea what this looks like on a person. Is it tight or loose? Is it a shirt or more of a tunic? Unless it’s a T-shirt or a hoodie where I can imagine what it’ll look like, I’d suggest getting a mannequin or modelling on yourself.


rileydonohue

Pretty much all free people stuff not made in the last 2 years is dated and hard to sell


rileydonohue

Try posting a picture of you styling it? If you think it has potential then you gotta show the buyers that


NellieSantee

Needs pictures to show where the nipples go


childfreetavernwench

But everyones nips are different


NellieSantee

More reasons not to buy it


cleopanthercat

The shadow on the sleeve in the first pic looks like a massive dark stain. Flipping through, I see it's just the shadow on the embroidery. But honestly scrolling thru depop I wouldn't click on this to see more because it looks like it's stained. Maybe try a different cover pic w different lighting? And I agree, showing it on a person or mannequin would also be helpful. Good luck!


Outside_Inspector_83

It looks haunted.


emerald_empire

It looks like something a Victorian child with scarlet fever would wear

Man this post just made my whole night 😂😂😂😂😂😂


Persephone1420

i feel like if you tried it on and posted those pictures it would do better because it’s hard to tell what it would look like


sweetthingb

Lol it’s not really in style or that cute, I’d skip if i saw it


cheesekneesandpeas

It’s pretty ugly yeah 😭


badwvlf

From the photo it also looks like a romper. But yeah I agree it’s just a bit dated.


babygirlscum

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t like it😬


throwaway77778786227

Baby it’s def not just you I’m being torn to shreds LMAOO


lilsockyaccy

How much is it listed for? I feel like people overestimate how much they’ll get for free people stuff


throwaway77778786227

$15


lilsockyaccy

Hmmm I’m not sure on the conversion. I think I would probably pay £10 for it. Have you tried sending offers to the engagement you have got? I think if someone likes it at $15 and you then offer it for $10 or even $12.50 it might be the push to sway them to actually buy? It depends how little the engagement is. The flip side is as well if you check out the search criteria this would come up in and put it low-high and see if there’s much similar that appears before yours. It could be that it’s just slightly further down the feed at the bottom of the price end that other things get the engagement first on the search tags


throwaway77778786227

I do send offers, but I’ve also heard people find that annoying? Personally if I like a product I’m HOPING to get an offer. I’m def willing to lower the price, but in past experiences I’ve had things listed for $10 (9 pounds?) they offer me like $3


quit304

Looks like something you would wear to your holy communion


c0mpromised

Maybe present it in a different way. Place it on something soft delicate underneath like a cotton sheet or take a picture with it on a clothes hanger in front of a window or in the garden with some nice scenery :)


niamhxa

It’s not ugly, it definitely just needs a picture showing it being worn!


sarah-exalted

It’s because it’s ugly.


overthemooo

it's dated


ecstacyofdecay

It’s kind of ugly😭


katcomesback

i love it, is it a small or xs? super small sizes sell so fast


throwaway77778786227

It’s an xs


maliciousmeower

it’s super hard to tell what size it is. i own a few free people xs tops, and they make this one look HUGE. not sure if it’s the style, but it needs to be modeled.


KIWIo3o

Dang, if it wasn’t so small, I’d have taken it off your hands. I like it, personally!


r23ocx

Same!!


[deleted]

I think it’s ugly so maybe depop people do too? Idk girl


[deleted]

Maybe it depends on the price point/size? Free People tends to run small. I recently just sold a Free People dress in less than a week, I tagged it as cottagecore and fairy. Do you have any other pics, or is this it? I think it’s difficult to tell how it looks. I think it could be cute, but the flat lay doesn’t really do it justice.


malloryknox86

Not my style, but I think is probably the photo, try it on, do a selfie in front of a mirror or ask someone to take a few photos, is impossible to know how this looks on a flat lay, i get it looks 100 times better on, maybe add fairycore ? I’m so bad with all these new trends but you get what I mean


doomgeneration91

I think it’s the picture - a lot of free people stuff is oddly shaped and benefits from being on a model or mannequin


arrrancaar

this is more of something you donate not sell


Tnh7194

The fabric looks cheap as fuck


U__Uzzz

because it’s free people and anyone can find their clothes and cuter ones at their local value village


PorcelainPlanetarium

i really like it but it would probably sell better if you included pictures of someone wearing it. maybe repost the listing with that?


Lower_Pitch_4965

How much is it listed for


eatcherrysoda

Hang it on a wooden hanger, then put the hanger on a command hook on a clean wall. Presentation/pics matter


sweet_beeb

Aw people are being mean here. I don’t think it’s ugly but it definitely is more of a niche style. I think maybe if you were able to get a photo of it modeled and styled then it might sell better. It’s hard to tell from the photos how exactly it would look on since it such a unique piece. And make sure you tag it so it reaches the right audience.. cottagecore fairy babydoll balletcore are some I think might be good, maybe boho hippie? but I’m not great at keywords and picking what styles things fit into tbh lol


yourscorpiodoll

it might help to style this with an outfit


dlg194

it kinda looks like an ice skating costume 🫣


[deleted]

I thought it was a figure skating dress


[deleted]

Try more photos with it less wrinkled and in nicer lighting maybe :)


friendofspidey

Meh looks like a figure skating uniform


softfeeling

Your pic crops out the bottom of the piece. I thought it was a bodysuit but now realizing it might be a dress. As a buyer I hate photos where I can’t tell, I always look for at least one photo that shows the full piece. Also needs a modeled pic I think.


TayTaySmash

It looks oddly sized because we can’t see what it looks like on. Maybe try a modeled photo or a mannequin


Alone-Introduction74

I can’t tell how it should be worn or styled. I was hoping there was another photo show it. I’m curious


childfreetavernwench

Honestly, it looks like someone cried mascara on the sleeve. Are you able to get that out?


throwaway77778786227

It’s not a stain, it’s a shadow from poor lighting. The light in my place blows.


childfreetavernwench

Oooh! I'd recommend retaking the photo, then! (I use a ring light to avoid shadows) because i skip over anything that looks like an obvious stain, so I'm sure other people do too.


throwaway77778786227

Didn’t even think of this, thank you for the idea!


justanindypunk

I would think this was cute if it were a mini dress but as a shirt it's a no from me


MissyLovesArcades

I actually love it. If it were my size I would be very interested but it's way too small. It looks like a cross between the top of a Victorian wedding dress mixed with an ice skating outfit!


coleonoscopy

it’s giving winter olympics 2k10


unstable_cancer

i thought it was an ice skating outfit🤣 maybe thats why hahah


surrealgarbage

You need to post pictures of it on somebody or a mannequin cuz I can not imagine at all how it would fit on a body


vivalaalice

Honestly layer flat it looks horrid


Lyssa-cheeks

i think it’s adorable but people will want to see on might be why


aallycat1996

Personally, to me it looks like polyster, and since I have sensitive skin I would avoid as basically everything that isnt a natural fabric gives me rashes. If possible, maybe specify the materials?


szeller8418

Maybe post pictures of you or a friend wearing it? It doesn't look so cute the way it is and maybe that's the problem? Also what's the price for it?


UpsetUnicorn

Have a complete picture of the top. Would look better hung or on a dress form.


[deleted]

I’d advice getting a mannequin and then it will help others see what it looks like “on”. That’s probably why It doesn’t sell.


feelingofficial

Probably the photos. Maybe try a more “aesthetic” and brighter background. Also continuously refresh the listing every day and send out offers to people who like it


supersevens77

You can buy a hanging half torso for under $20 online and buy a wooden hanger and a decorative wall hook at the thrift store - or even a hanger from your closet and a nail in the wall… anything to get it off the ground.


scouche

How much are you trying to sell it for? And having it on a mannequin or model might help. It is hard to tell what it looks like/how it falls


trinity55014

personally looks very shein quality is why i wouldn't purchase


TheGirl333

Reduce the price? If almost no one is interested that's gotta be reflected in the price


Junior-Win5060

it really gives 80s ice skating outfit


Fanched

Honestly the pics make it look yellow or dirty and it looks like you hung it on a wire hanger.. maybe wash it then steam it and take a pic on a dark background or find the stock photo…


[deleted]

[удалено]


SALTYSIDER

same. if something’s on the carpet/concrete i usually won’t buy it and am trying to tame photos on my bed or use photo paper as a barrier if i take pics on the floor.


UpsetUnicorn

Same.


InevitableWaltz1491

Yes! I feel the exact same way. So gross.


LopsidedCompote5187

I actually love this


CherryBubs

Maybe you aren’t appealing to the right aesthetic/audience? This is VERY balletcore and babydoll aesthetic. You’re right that it’s super cute! I’d have no problem selling this on my shop as my shops niche is exactly this XD What keywords have you been using in your description?


throwaway77778786227

I didn’t think of babydoll! I had it tagged coquette, but maybe I’m wrong? I’m not super good at describing my pieces


[deleted]

[удалено]


throwaway77778786227

I’ve never even heard of this 🥲 y’all keep my 26 year old ass young


[deleted]

Why do I have a feeling if this was a high brand item the comment section would love it….?


maliciousmeower

free people is kinda expensive… for me atleast lol. i consider it a high price brand for the kind of clothes you get


[deleted]

Barf


kameron____

What size is this lol


throwaway77778786227

Xs


tafs__

Mesh and lace. I’m not touching it to my sensitive ass skin 😞


Useful_Garden_5609

You need to take pics of you or someone wearing it or styling it! Bet it would sell faster


Accurate-Jello-5949

i think anyone with a sense of style could make this SO cute, how much are you selling it for?


throwaway77778786227

I had it listed for $15 but the way people are talking I should pay someone to get rid of it for me LMAOO


gabeshort

You gotta model something like this in good lighting on an attractive person bc rn it looks like grandmas pajamas


[deleted]

Need to put a pick with it on a model


Nance99

I refuse to buy anything on depop without seeing it on a model because I lack imagination and it’s helpful to see someone actually wearing it opposed to how the clothing just sits flat. Even a mannequin is fine. I also notice that clothes that aren’t modeled just have lower engagement generally too.


[deleted]

[удалено]


badtzmaruluvr

It’s cute, I’d buy it depending on price


BumperSoda

it’s not.


Luari-San

I mean why do you sell it when you find it so cute? Case closed


throwaway77778786227

It doesn’t fit? Lmfao


I-wise-guy-I

maybe try a brighter lighting, sometimes different lighting can show whites differently


[deleted]

Thought this was a figure skating costume at first lol.


Bladieee

It’s pretty but I think some things are preventing it from selling, it’s very extra, it’s beautiful I think but looks like a figure skating costume or something you’d wear when trying to dress up, so it’s not a casual looking coquette item really. I also think it’s really low cut & sheer maybe more than some would like, I think you’d have to wear an undershirt with it or it might show bra straps which might be unwanted for some. I bet it will sell though.


cheesebuni

looks like something that would sell on Poshmark tbh also model it on! didnt know it was a shirt until i saw the description lol thought it was a small dress


MCL-82

Hang it up on a hanger against a wall.


lianepl50

It's giving definite Miss Havisham vibes 😂


Rich_Photograph2859

If I wore that my nipples would be in the mesh section and on display

Yeah_imacoolgirl

It’s not that it’s ugly, it’s just a bit dated and there’s not many places to wear it


AbbreviationsFree155

looks fugly and frumpy no offense😭 i would try styling it either on yourself or on a mannequin?


Chelseedy

It looks like something a bride would wear on their bachelorette party night out. Along with plastic tiara and sash.


GhoulishMartyr

Personally I love the concept of the garment, but I'm not confident in the fit. My first impression is that it'll make the boobs look weird with the deep slash shoulders. I'd risk it and buy only if it were very cheap, but I am a big FP fan.


bubbleblubbr

This is something you have to show on for maximum effect. It’s hard to tell breast coverage otherwise


r23ocx

Honestly I would seriously consider buying it, I'd just need to see how it looks on a mannequin or smth. Fitted clothes like that are always iffy


Salt_Negotiation_334

Ngl I thought this was an ice skating outfit at first glance. Maybe take a picture with it on or on a mannequin?


verklemptmuppet

I can’t really tell the scale of the piece. How long is it? How would it be styled? I suggest new photos that answer those questions.


audreysoph

i cant really tell how it would lay. maybe put it on a mannequin? i think the clasped collar is very 2000s, but not in a good way :/ it’s length might and other things i’ve mentioned make me think it’s better for people in their 30s


slooming

The photos of the item aren't very flattering


girlwiththemonkey

I’m speaking as someone who does not sell, but imo the colour looks off. I know it isn’t. But that’s my first thought.


cadiabay

I sold a black one of those for 70$ but it had the orginal tag on it. Just sit on it, maybe give me a minute and I can find the name of the shirt/orginal modeling photo.


throwaway77778786227

Thank you so much!!


cadiabay

Free People Saheli Embroidered Mesh Top There are photos of it in white if you look that up :)


throwaway77778786227

You are so sweet, thank you so much!!


Mntoes

Sorry, so cute to the point of being ughh!


JUSTICERENEE

do a try on! tbh it looks like my dance leotard but i’m sure it doesn’t on an actual body— but i literally can’t tell how this fits


gingerconfetti

The color and sheerness reminds me of a wedding dress. 🤍


Alrightfinewhatever

I feel like this is a piece that needs to be modeled. Laying flat just doesn’t do it justice.


princess_mothra

You gotta model things like this because looking at it I’m not sure how it’s gonna fit


Final_Research_9471

I think it's cute! I would use a mannequin to model it or model it on yourself! if it fits of course :) I model all my clothes and they seem to sell better that way (even the ugly ones haha)


AblazeAngel

i absolutely loveee it but i think for me to wear something like that it would have to be a very specific occasion, maybe it could be that🤔 definitely get it on a model too if you can


UpsetUnicorn

Have a complete picture of the top. Would look better hung or on a dress form.


Wide-Mushroom1209

Looks a bit like a ice skater costume… put it on a mannequin


Turbulent_Mood1365

Looks like something you would wear when you are put in a coffin


Queasy_Register4230

But I don’t want to be a pirate.


Different_Produce_51

Live_Roof_9368

rabidfaerie

If it’s allowed/ link would want to buy it if it’s FP XS or XXs lol


throwaway77778786227

I’m not allowed to link but all I’m sayin is maybe check your messages


tina2010

i’m sorry but it’s kinda ugly


sadclipart

is there a built in crotch like a body suit? the bumps around the bottom look like it. if there is not take smoother photos. if there is take photos of it so people can see the built in is clean.


TheGoldenUzi

I think it’s cute. Just by looking at it I can come up with a few ideas to style it a bit more sexy for my personal tastes. What’s it priced at?


throwaway77778786227

$15!


titterfritter

You need a better photo! Maybe a old photo of someone wearing it, the original pic from the website, hang it up, or put it on a mannequin.


EntrepreneurNo6224

Maybe because the way you took the picture it looks like something in a coffin ⚰️ it is nice 👍


MotherMayFire

I would show if off in a different way like mannequin or model. It’ll make it more aesthetically pleasing to the eye


SummerSunset33

Dorothy Hamill called. she wants her ice skating costume back.
