[Reduced] Vintage Victorian ruffled secretary blouse

This is a vintage blouse I picked up in Hong Kong. The polyester material is good quality, very easy to take care of and lightweight. The blouse has a light polka-dot pattern and darling tiny ruffles all around the collar, down the front placket, and on each of the cuffs. The collar has two little ties that look good either tied in a bow or hanging open.

There is a small stain on the very bottom hem in the front. I can try to clean this before shipping the item.

23" long

Asking: $18 shipped (extra to Canada)

[last call] Freitag one-of-a-kind messenger bag





http://www.freitag.ch/shop/FREITAG/shop.jsf#/models=F12

I purchased this bag direct from Freitag about 6 years ago. It was used almost daily in my last semester at college, but since then it has been mostly sitting in my closet. There's no wear or tear and everything still functions perfectly. The bag is expandable with the velcro and there's a velcro pocket underneath the main flap. What I love most about this bag is the flower image! I guarantee it will be almost impossible to find one like it. I think I stalked the Freitag site for months before finally falling in love with this print. Almost all of the bags are solids and/or geometric. Not this one. The bag also had a strap that can go across your body if you ride a bicycle. The strap has worked great for the few times I rode my bike to work with it.

Measurements:
~14.5" wide
~12" high
~4" deep
all straps are adjustable

Costs:
Paid ~$200 (including $$$ for international shipping), asking $109 $92 $79, includes US shipping. Paypal only.

Listing End Date:

Measurements:
18" pit to pit
14" at waist
23" long

Costs:
Paid $62 on sale, asking $29 $21$15, includes shipping. Paypal only.

REDUCED. Tod's Gommini Moccasins, 6




This post is for a pair of new Tod's Gommini leather moccasins (purchase from the Tod's boutique in Costa Mesa). The name comes from the nubbly grips on the bottom of these shoes, which adds to both their comfort and flexibility (two qualities I greatly value). I have these mocs in a different color and thought this tan version would fit right into my wardrobe but old habits die hard and these never got any love.

Asking: $165 $110 + $10 shipping w/in the U.S.

Please leave your name and e-mail address and a winner will be chosen at random on July 6th. Thanks!

Built by Wendy sundress, XS


Lovely Built by Wendy cotton sundress. Size XS. Button front and two patch pockets. This is such a great dress, but it is a tiny bit small for me, and I also own way too many dresses and need to downsize. Perfect, brand new condition. Purchased from the BBW shop in Williamsburg and never worn. This is best for a 0 or maybe a small 2.
Bust: 15
Waist: 13

Paid: $100 on sale (I bought this without trying it on, and yes, that was not smart)
Asking: $45 plus $5 shipping.
Listing ends: July 2. Thank you for looking!

Dace Shirt Dress - Size Small

I just purchased this dress via Laws of General Economy (from a lovely fellow reader of this blog) only last month. I was so excited about winning this wonderful item. Unfortunately, it just doesn't fit me right. I've only tried this on. Have never worn it otherwise.

Here am I am re-posting this dress hoping that I can pass it on to someone else. Perhaps, third time's a charm.
Paid: $50.
Asking: $50 shipped.
Listing ends: 7/5/10
Please leave your PayPal email address in the comments if interested. Thank you!

Below is the original posting from Sophie and Joyce.

I purchased this lovely navy shirtwaist dress via laws of general economy, last August. Unfortunately, the shape is just not right for me, and the dress has remained in my closet ever since. It's a beautiful garment and in very good condition.

Price: I paid $50 and am asking the same, including shipping from Montreal.

I've included Joyce's original posting below:



[image of dress on model from Dace website]







About Item
: Adorable shirtdress from Dace, Spring/Summer 2008, I think. V-neck that is just deep enough (though not so deep that you would need a cami or anything underneath). Functional buttons. Slight dolman sleeves. Skirt is lined. Waist drawstring and side pockets! Hits a couple of inches above my knee (I am 5'6").

Color: Navy blue.

Material: 62% viscose / 38% cotton

Condition: Very good to excellent. Worn only a few times. [Please excuse the wrinkles from storage.]

Approximate Measurements: Small. I would say the top could fit a Small or Medium, though the hip area is definitely true to size.

Why am I letting it go?: I haven't worn this for about a year. Time to let it go to a good home.

Paid: About $200.

[SOLD] Vintage Shrunken Boyfriend Blazer



Item: vintage shrunken boyfriend blazer
Color/material: black, wool blend
Size: little boys size 8, but will fit someone who is an XS/0 or 2
Condition: excellent
Asking: $10, which includes shipping to anywhere in the USA. 
Listing ends: Saturday,  July 3rd
I'm getting ready to move next week, which means lots of necessary closet purging.  This is a little boys jacket made by "The Calvin Clothing Company" but is the perfect length/size for someone who is relatively petite (for reference I am 5'3" and a size 0-2).  Great condition, and a nice weight for fall-winter.

[SOLD] A.P.C. Quilted Parka





Item: A.P.C. Quilted Parka
Color/material: army green, 100% cotton
Size: FR 36, which fits like a XS-S (this was the smallest size this jacket comes in)
Condition: brand new with tags
Retail: $390, I paid $229 on sale from Barneys
Asking: $225, which includes shipping to anywhere in the USA (+5 for canada, +10 for everywhere else). 
Listing ends: Saturday,  July 3rd
I'm getting ready to move next week, which means lots of necessary closet purging.  I bought this from Barneys while it was on sale, but haven't worn it yet (it's too hot), and now realize that I have way too many jackets.  This parka is the perfect shade of army green, and perfect for fall/spring weather--sold out everywhere online.  It has quilted detailing, a roomy hood, cinchable waist, and button-up + zipper closure.  I am short (5'3"), so it hits lower on my leg than on the model (below mid-thigh).  Sorry for the stock photos (from net-a-porter), but I think the details/color turn out better than my poorly lit room.  I love it, but I have to let it go!

*SOLD* Mike & Chris Raleigh Trench Coat, Size Small

Thanks, Anna!!

Purchased January 2009; I wore it last spring/summer and a few times in the fall, but it is still in good shape and has lots of wear left in it. 
Size: Small, fits true to size. 34.5" long, 20" from armpit to armpit, 17" across the waist.
Color, material: Light Olive (a nice neutral khaki shade if you don't care for that very yellow tone that trenches often have). The color is between the modeling photo and my own photos (which are a little too green even though I attempted a correction). 100% waxed cotton exterior, zip-off hood (a great feature and hard to find in a nice trench coat!), striped cotton lining, self belt. Darts at hem for a slightly rounded shape.
Condition: Overall, good, and clean. There are a few loose stitches under the right armpit (see picture), maybe 1/2" in all. There are also a few light marks on the left sleeve; I didn't notice them until I inspected the coat, and they're not very noticable.
Letting it go because I have too many coats. Originally retailed for $360; I paid around $160 for it. Asking $30 plus $10 shipping in the U.S. or Canada. Listed until July 2nd. Thanks!!
