To sell a bridesmaid dress?

Is it bad manners to sell a bridesmaid dress? I'm guessing it's a bit of a 'marmite' subject so I'm a bit hesitant to ask the bride (or ex-bride as the case may be Grin). She's the type of woman so say 'no, it's fine' even if she's crying inside so I don't want to offend her if it isn't the 'done thing'. I'm just testing the waters, as it were!
The reason I want to sell it is that it's been hanging around taking up space, it's too big for me now and it's not a style I like so I'd never wear it again. Also I'm a bit short of money at the moment so I'm having a huge clear out and flogging anything that's not nailed down! (which is why I'd prefer to sell it, rather than giving it to charity)

A bridesmaid dress is a gift surely.

I’d be a bit Confused if one of mine had offered me their dress back.

blimey, after 4 years sell the thing!

If a bride wanted it back to sell after, they'd make it crystal clear from the start (so you'd take a bit more care to not get them dirty if you can help it) and then collect soon after the wedding for cleaning and selling on.

I would just sell it and not say anything. I can’t see why anyone could expect you to keep it, it’s not like it’s your wedding dress so no need to keep it for ever.

It was bought to wear as a one off. You wore it. You have the pictures. Go for it!
