It feels like having a marketplace for this cheapens the experience of using formalwear. Imo

I would try and find a way to change the experience so its not similar to buying stuff on Ebay (i.e the homepage feels that way)

If you want the experience of brand new formalwear, then the site is likely not for you.

Coming from an immigrant family myself, the utility of something is worth more than the perceived newness, and deal hunting is a prized skill. Queenly is a good match for demographics like that.

Definitely a tricky design challenge, to keep a playful but high end tone to the landing page!
"Playful" isn't really something I'd expect from a business like this, at least not at the expense of communicating "high end".
Prom is supposed to be fun, but prom dresses are expensive!
