Standardized Dress Consignment Sale
This event provides families with the opportunity to sell and purchase gently used standardized dress items in preparation for the upcoming school year.
- Standardized Dress Guidelines
Westminster’s standardized dress program offers simple, affordable, sustainable clothing for students that enhance the teaching/learning environment. Learn more and view the guidelines.
- Ways to Participate in the Sale
If your students have outgrown their clothing, please consider participating in our consignment sale. We offer two options:
- Donate your gently used items.
- Sell your items through our sale.
- You will receive 90% of the proceeds from your items.
(Westminster retains 10% to offset the costs of the sale) - We ask that all articles of clothing be on hangers with an itemized list and tagged according to the guidelines.
- Any items found without tags, hangers, or an itemized list will be considered a donation.
- Inventory will be kept in a locked room between sale dates.
- You will receive 90% of the proceeds from your items.
This year we are accepting Spirit Wear for resale.
- How to Prepare Items for Sale
- Print out the tags and itemization list forms.
- Use colored paper, if possible, to print your tags; this is helpful in the sorting process.
- Launder used clothing, and do a spot check for stains. We cannot sell stained items.
- Fill out the itemization list to be turned in with your items; keep a copy for your records.
- Your Seller ID# will be the last four digits of your cell phone number followed by your last name initial.
- Pricing Guidelines based on last year’s sales:
- Polos $6–$7 · Oxfords $8 · Skirts $12–$20 · Pants $10–$15 · Shorts $10–$12 · Sweatshirts & Hoodies $10–$20 · Fleeces $8 · Sweaters $8 · Quarter zips $10–$15
- Please indicate on each tag if you would like to discount your items the last two days of the sale, by 50% of your original price, by circling Y or N by “Reduction.” If not marked, we will assume no discount is to be offered.
- Attach completed tags to the garments with SAFETY PINS (no stick pins or tape) on the upper right-hand side above the Westminster logo for shirts and on the right side waistband for bottoms.
- Hang shirts on wire hangers with the opening facing left.
