60s Vintage A-Line Heavy Wool Dress Sz 6-8

CHLOE Classic Velvet Wide Leg Trousers Burgundy sz 34 (0, 2)







The are fancy pants Chloé (by Phoebe Philo) tailored, wide leg trousers. They are the classic Chloé pant cut -- they are supposed to ride low on the waist and worn a little slouchy. Chloe brings out a version of this signature nearly every season.

Tab front. Two pockets. One back pocket. These are super high quality tailored pants and would be great for fall. This is a great chance for someone who has always wanted Chloé trousers but unwilling/unable to pay the insane prices.

To see how they were styled on the runway, see: http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/F2002RTW-CHLOE/

Made in France

Why I'm giving this up: I have finally come to the conclusion that as much as I wish to wear slouchy pants, my legs are too short to really pull it off.

Size: French 34 - -don't be scared off! Because of the style and cut of the pant, they could fit up to a US size 2, easily. Check your measurements carefully.

Material: Burgundy velvet.

Measurements: (measured lying flat)
Waist: 15"
Rise: 10"
Inseam: 29.5"
Length (measured along outer seam): 39"

Don't be scared off by the seemingly short inseam. (I am wearing 4" wedges in the top photo.) To tell if these will fit, measure where from your hipbone to the ground. I had these altered (they were insanely long) so that they would nearly reach the floor if I wore boots with a 4" heel. For me, they are still too long.

Condition: altered. I think I wore them inside my own house but never out because there is still the plastic tag (from the price tag) on waist band. Note: I got a mysterious spot (it looks like it could have been honey) on the leg of the pant -- I bet this would come out with dry washing, but I haven't tried it. I am sure it could be treated at home, too, since it's not a burn or anything that has damaged the fabric, but I dare not try to treat it myself.

No wear, mint condition otherwise.

It is 1" from the bottom of the pant leg, so if you plan to alter the pant anyhow, it will be a non-issue.

Paid: $395 -- they were originally $695!

Asking: $60 + 5 shipping.

Club Monaco New Sun Dress Cute Print Sz 2



Club Monaco Long Tiered Sun Dress

This has a great "abstract" flower pattern.
Zips up the side
Piped
Darts though bust

Condition: New, unworn

Size 2 -- I think it would work well for someone who is a little taller than me (I'm 5'4") and with more bust (I'm a 32B) and bigger through the torso. (Or someone handy with a sewing machine.) Simply said, it's too big for me (and is too big on my "busty" dress form.)

Measurements:

Bust: 32"
Waist: 30"
Length: 47"

Paid: ??
Asking: shipping costs $12

Costume National Practical Fall Black Boots sz 36.5






Hi all,

These are part of the stash of shoes I'd inadvertently found as I was packing for my move. I could just give them to Goodwill, but I feel someone out there could use them as they've got plenty of wear left in them -- and were expensive, high quality boots. They not delicate at all -- they'll hold up well in fall or winter weather.

A great thing about these boots is that they're not too narrow in the calf.

Measurements: at the widest point, they are 14". I usually wear a size 37, but these are fine on me -- I can wear thick socks or tights with these without a problem. Heel is 1 1/4". Total boot height: 14 3/4"


Condition:
on the left boot at the top, there are a number of mysterious scratches. I don't think these would be a big deal for someone who plans to wear these as "bad weather" boots. They could use a good polish. Again, I think they have a lot of wear left!

Costume National High Leather Boots
Rubber sole
Rounded toe
Seam
Zips on inside

Size 36.5

Insole measurement:
9 1/2"
Made in Italy

Paid:
$475...several years ago
Asking:
$35 for shipping + packaging (they're a little heavy!)
