What types of photos should I use for my dress listing?

Use high-quality, well-lit photos of the actual dress. Natural lighting and minimal background distractions work best. If possible, show the dress worn on a person to help buyers visualize the fit. You can also include a retail photo, but make sure it's the exact same style and color.
