Wiksten Indigo Stripe Dress, Size Small




This is a hard one to let go of. This was a piece I was dying over when Jenny Gordy made it for Wiksten and I felt so lucky to get it off of LoGE a while ago. It’s made in a heavy striped cotton and has beautiful wooden buttons. It is SO amazingly well made but just doesn’t flatter me. It’s adorable, perfect for spring, and you can layer it with long-sleeved shirts underneath in cooler weather. I’m asking for what I paid for it on LoGE originally.

Materials: 100% cotton
Measurements: Bust 16 inches, empire waist 15 inches

Originally: $250
Paid: $108 with shipping

Asking: $108 with shipping to the US

bottom photo, Wiksten

I purchased this beautiful dress (collaboration from Wiksten + Helen Dealtry of Woking Girl Designs) and have worn it a handful of times in between pregnancies. When I pulled it out to wear to an event last week it no longer felt right on me, so I thought I'd pass it along to someone else.

Gorgeous and in perfect condition.

beautiful cerulean blue color with tiny pops of hot pink and neon yellow and orange

Wiksten Valentine Dress - medium


Wiksten Valentine Dress

size medium
brand new - never worn

I was lucky enough to purchase one of the limited edition dresses when Jenny released them, only I was pregnant and not quite able to fit into it so I left it hanging in my closet. Fast forward six months and I finally put it on to wear yesterday, only I realized that it isn't quite right on me.

Rather than leave in hanging in my closet (although I love to look at the color it is so gorgeous!) I hope that someone here will be able to wear it?

Asking: $265 (what I paid)
Listing Ends: August 7

Thanks!

Wiksten Indigo Striped Dress, size 6

top photo by Jenny

Very sad to see this dress go, but I just don't do well with big collars. Empire waists don't work well on me, either. The fabric (hemp and cotton), wood buttons, the construction, the meticulous attention to detail, all classic Wiksten.This has been kept as a collection piece for too long, now it's time to let someone else enjoy it.

Size 6, fits true to size. Email for measurements.

Like new condition. Washed 3 times (laid flat to dry).

Paid $170 at the sample sale, asking $120 including US shipping.

Brand New Wiksten Top





After much contemplation I've decided to let go of this brand new Wiksten top. I ordered this top from the fall/winter collection and received it about a week ago (after waiting for a couple of months for it to arrive!). When I tried it on, my son immediately grabbed at the exposed shoulders and I could see a disaster waiting to happen. I suppose that I could save this and wear it when I'm not with him, but I stay at home with him now and I have too many of those clothing options already. I am trying to simplify my wardrobe, not make it more complicated. It is a size large and I am asking what I paid for it, since it is current and brand new.

The fabric is a liberty cotton, dark blue with fantastic colored bits running throughout. Exposed shoulders and the scoop neck is perfect! Can you tell that there is a perfectly placed pocket?

Asking: $185, shipped
Listing Ends: January 10

Wiksten Top, Size 6 or Medium [SOLD]



Congrats, Danielle!

One of a kind, handcrafted Wiksten top. Purchased maybe 3 years ago. I'm so sad to part with this, but the fact is that I've only worn it once or twice. In excellent condition. Beautiful printed cotton fabric with abstract orange roses. Peter Pan collar, slight pleating at bust, elbow length sleeves that are shown rolled in the photos. This was a sample that Jenny made and there is no size tag. I'm usually a Medium or 6 in Wiksten and this fits perfectly. Please check measurements below.

Approximate measurements:

Bust (underarm to underarm) = 19"
Shoulder to shoulder = 15"
Overall length (shoulder to bottom hem) = 22"
Sleeve length (unrolled) = 15.75"

Paid: I think about $120
Asking: $50, including shipping to U.S.

Listing ends 13 November. Please remember to leave your email in your comment!
