The DoneDeal guide to buying clothing
- If an item is advertised as designer, make sure you know what an authentic piece should look like (for example, stitching, labels, and branding). Ask whether any proof of authenticity or certification is available.
- When buying second-hand items, especially wedding dresses, check what the item would cost new to make sure you’re getting a good deal.
- Ask whether any alterations have been carried out, particularly on dresses.
