United Colors of Benetton Jersey Dress

It doesn't look fitted in the photo but the waist is true and it gives nice shape.

About the item: This easy-to-wear, plum-coloured jersey dress was bought on sale at Sisley (sister to Benetton) though the label indicates it is Benetton brand. I was drawn in by its excellent shade (flattering on anyone) and its lovely kick pleat / bust detailing. It's perfect for work or play - comfortable to move in, yet chic.

Why I'm willing to say goodbye: It's never fit quite right in the shoulders for me. I have a very narrow frame with boobs and the fabric isn't clinging quite the way I'd like it to. Perhaps I should have got a small (but there wasn't one). I could have it tailored but, truthfully, I've worn it twice and, given all my other clothes, it just hasn't happened.

Plus Points:

• Colour
• Fabric - it's machine washable!
• Length of skirt is perfect for stacked or flat boots
• Three-season weight
• Lovely sleeves with "button" clasp that's actually a snap!
• Kick pleat
• It's in perfect condition.
  

Size: Medium but there's a bit of give as the fabric is jersey.

Flat Measurements:
Armpit-to-armpit: 18 inches
Waist: 15 inches
Length: 41 inches

Asking: This was $180.00 originally (if I remember correctly). I got it at last call sale for $55.00. I'm asking for $25.00 plus shipping extra. As I'm located in Canada, the shipping may be slightly higher than US-to-US postage - of course, if you're in Canada, it will work to your advantage. I'll aim to post in the most cost effective way, even if it means a slightly slower delivery. I can apprise you of the shipping cost in advance, if you would like. I estimate that it will be about $12.00.

M0851 Ecru Skirt

About the Item: This, just-above-the-knee ecru / bone-coloured skirt is insanely cool and terrifically constructed. The fabric is matte parachute with beautiful stitching and a great fluted A-line shape. The waist is fabric covered and elastic but does not look "elasticized". The piece can fit on the waist or hips. Netted lining is yet another facet of its beautiful construction.

I really love it and have enjoyed it tremendously.

Why I'm willing to say goodbye: Oh, this is tough. I guess because it really doesn't fit that well anymore. I bought it at a time when I was more of a medium fit and now I'm more of a small fit. Also, I've worn it happily many times and it's time to give it to a new person who will be as blown away by it as I was when I first bought it.

Plus Points:

• It's in great condition, despite many wearings. Very durable fabric
• Super interesting piece - conversation starter - inspired design
  
• Can be worn on waist or hip
• It's perfect for travel as it rolls up into a tiny ball - but doesn't wrinkle
  
• Made in Canada by fantastic designers at M0851
  

Size: Medium

Flat Measurements:

Waist: 16.25 inches
Length: 21 inches

Asking: I bought this at an end-of season sale for $85.00. Originally, it was more like $160.00. I'm asking $25.00 plus shipping. As I'm located in Canada, the shipping may be slightly higher than US-to-US postage - of course, if you're in Canada, it will work to your advantage. I'll aim to post in the most cost effective way, even if it means a slightly slower delivery. I can apprise you of the shipping cost in advance, if you would like. I estimate that this, very foldable piece, will ship for under $10.00.

acne tubes -- dc wash -- size 30 (=size 6)

Congratulations SJWHidden@yahoo.com !!!

AUTHENTIC ACNE JEANS TUBE DC (DC is the wash). Purchased from Metier Boutique in San Francisco in December. I lost weight, and these are now too big.

Worn twice and washed once. Size 30 waist/ 32 length. 98% cotton, 2% elastane.

Denim is crisp and dark blue, a lot like the "CASH" wash, although not as dark (Cash is almost black). These jeans will stretch out a little bit with wear, but not much. Waist is high and meant to fit around actual waist. Great retro look that is super flattering.

Buy these jeans to fit your waist -- they are supposed to fit snugly through the bum and thighs. Zip fly and button closure. Freshly laundered and ready to ship.

Measurements: Waist -- 14-1/2" flat;

Rise is 11";

Inseam is actually a bit short of 32" -- more like 31-3/4".

Retail $299 -- asking $50, includes shipping costs.
