FAQ

No appointment is necessary to shop or consign at The White Pear. However, we kindly ask that you bring no more than three guests and refrain from bringing children, as our store is not childproof. Thank you for your understanding!

At The White Pear, we accept the following items for consignment:

• Gowns and dresses that are less than two years old (manufactured in 2023 and 2024) and are currently in fashion.

• Dresses must be in excellent condition—clean, free of stains, and professionally dry cleaned (with proof attached).
  

We do not accept:

• Traditional wedding dresses with trains, bridesmaid dresses, or "grandmother's" dresses.

• Dresses from JJ House or poorly constructed online dresses.
  

Please note: We do not buy dresses outright.

To consign your dress with The White Pear, please follow these steps:

1. Ensure your dress is in excellent condition: It should be professionally dry cleaned and free of tears, stains, or any other obvious imperfections.

2. Bring your gown(s) or dress(es) that meet our consignment criteria.

3. Complete and print the Consignment Agreement (click to download the file) and bring it with your items.

Live out of town or short on time? No problem! You can email a picture of your items to thewhitepear@comcast.net. If they meet our criteria, we can consign them for you by mail.

At The White Pear, we will carefully inspect your items to determine if they meet our consignment criteria. This inspection is done with you present, so you can be involved in the process. If your items are accepted for consignment, we will then create a consignment contract outlining the terms.

Once accepted, your item(s) will be displayed at The White Pear for a period of six (6) months.

• For items priced over $100, the proceeds will be split 50/50 between The White Pear and the consignor.

• For items priced under $100, the consignor will receive 40% of the sale price.

Settlements are issued 30 days after the sale.

If your item(s) do not sell within six (6) months, you have the option to either pick up or donate your item(s). You must contact us within seven (7) business days of the consignment end date, as we cannot reach out to every consignor due to the large volume of dresses.

If you choose to have your items returned, please provide 24 hours’ notice. Items not picked up within the specified time frame will be donated to local charities, such as Cinderella's Closet in Frackville or our local high schools.
