Do You Really Need a Fashion Stylist When Shopping Preloved?
I used to ask myself this too.
But here’s what I’ve learned — and what I’ve seen firsthand time and again with clients through Dressability, my inclusive fashion styling service:
Shopping secondhand can be overwhelming.
You’re faced with racks full of potential… and pitfalls. So many clothes, but no guarantee you’ll find something that actually fits, flatters, or feels like you.
That’s where I come in.
Meet Amanda Fox, Founder of Dressability
I’m Amanda, a fashion stylist with a background in film and TV, and the founder of Dressability — a service dedicated to inclusive, empowering, and sustainable fashion styling.
I created the Preloved Fashion Tour to make secondhand shopping fun, personal, and truly stylish. Whether you’re looking for a wardrobe refresh, experimenting with a new style, or trying to shop more consciously — this is for you.
💡 Why Hire a Stylist for Preloved Shopping?
Let’s break it down.
Most people walk into an op shop or designer resale store and struggle with at least one of these:
• Not knowing where to start
• Buying “maybe” items that never get worn
• Getting overwhelmed by the volume
• Struggling to visualise how to style what they find
• Wasting money on pieces that don’t suit their body or life

✔️ What a Fashion Stylist (Like Me) Brings
When you book a Preloved Fashion Tour through Dressability, you’re not just shopping — you’re getting inclusive personal fashion support tailored to your needs.
Here’s what’s included:
🎯 A trained eye for spotting quality pieces among the clutter
🧵 Expertise in fit, tailoring, colour, texture, and silhouette
🔁 Creative ideas on how to upcycle, layer, or restyle your finds
👗 Guidance to help build actual outfits, not just a random haul
💃 A confidence boost — plus clarity about your personal style
This is more than just a shopping trip. It’s a chance to feel seen, celebrated, and empowered.
🌍 Why Preloved?
Because fashion shouldn’t cost the earth — or your confidence.
Secondhand fashion is sustainable, ethical, and full of unique one-off finds that help you stand out.
It’s also a budget-friendly way to experiment. Want to try bold prints, oversized tailoring, or a pop of colour you’d usually avoid? Go for it — without the full retail price tag.
With a few tweaks — a hem, a button, a belt — even a basic piece can become something magical. That’s the power of intentional, inclusive styling.
💬 What Clients Say
I’ve seen clients transform how they feel in their clothes — and in themselves — after just one styling tour. They leave with outfits they actually love and the tools to style them confidently on their own.
