Whether you are hunting for a unique, sustainable treasure or looking to declutter your home, our platform is designed to make the process effortless, transparent, and rewarding. Here is everything you need to know about navigating our consignment marketplace.

Part 1: For Our Buyers
Shopping pre-loved should feel like an indulgence, not a chore. We have streamlined our marketplace so you can focus on finding the pieces you love directly from other stylish closets.

  • Curated Discovery: Our collection is a carefully curated selection of pre-loved fashion. We partner with sellers to showcase pieces that meet our high-quality standards. Use our search filters to browse by brand, size, colour, or category to find exactly what you are looking for.
  • Transparent Details: We believe in full transparency. Every product page features the details provided by the seller, including clear condition notes, fabric compositions, and measurements. We provide the information you need to shop with confidence, helping you understand exactly how a piece will fit and feel.
  • Simple, Secure Checkout: Once you’ve found your perfect match, our checkout process is quick and secure. We accept major payment methods and prioritize your data privacy, acting as the secure bridge between you and the seller.
  • Reliable Delivery: Once your order is placed, the seller is notified to prepare your item for shipment. We ensure that shipping standards are met for every order. As soon as your package is on its way, you’ll receive a tracking number via email so you can follow its journey right to your mailbox.

A Commitment to the Lifecycle of Fashion
By participating in the Didi’s Closet marketplace, you aren't just buying or selling—you are actively contributing to a circular economy. Together, we are reducing textile waste, lowering the carbon footprint associated with new garment production, and ensuring that beautiful pieces get the second, third, or fourth life they deserve.

How to Photograph Your Apparel

To ensure your items look their absolute best for buyers, consistency is key. Please follow these simple guidelines when capturing your pieces:

  • Tops and Bottoms: Lay each item completely flat on a clean surface. Take two clear, well-lit photos for every piece: one straight-on front-facing shot and one back-facing shot.
  • Dupattas: Hang dupattas gracefully from a secure hook, rod, or hanger so the full length, pattern, and drape are visible.

How to Measure for Your Listing

Accurate measurements are the key to a successful sale on Didi’s Closet. By providing precise details, you help buyers shop with confidence and reduce the likelihood of returns. Please use a flexible tailor’s tape measure to ensure your listing is as accurate as possible.

For all garments, we recommend taking measurements on a flat surface (garment laid out) rather than on the body.

Tops (Blouse, Langa Blouse, Kameez, and Saree Blouse)

Refer to diditops.jpg for visual guidance on measurement points:

  • Bust (A): Lay the garment flat. Measure across the front, from underarm seam to underarm seam. Multiply this measurement by two for the full bust circumference. Keep the tape measure parallel to the floor.
  • Hips (B): For longer garments like a kameez, lay it flat and measure across the hip area (typically 7-9 inches below the waist). Multiply by two for the full hip circumference.
  • Waist (C): Lay the garment flat. Measure across the narrowest part of the bodice. Multiply by two for the full waist circumference.
  • Length (D): Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (where the seam meets the collar) straight down to the hemline.

Bottoms (Langa/Lehenga Skirt, Petticoat, Churidars, Pants, and Palazzos)

Refer to didibottoms.jpg for visual guidance on measurement points:

  • Waist (A): Lay the garment flat. Measure across the entire waistband opening. Multiply this measurement by two for the full waist circumference. This is typically where the garment is intended to sit (e.g., lower on the hips for a petticoat, natural waist for pants).
  • Length (B): Measure from the top of the waistband straight down the side seam to the bottom hem of the garment.
  • Hips (C): Lay the garment flat. Measure across the fullest part of the hip area (typically 7-9 inches below the waistband). Multiply by two for the full hip circumference. (Note: This measurement is often critical for churidars and fitted pants).
