Lyell Julie Christie Dress size 6 (fits 4 or 6)

Gorgeous white linen Lyell Julie Christie Dress. Lovely pleating down the front, peter pan collar, A-line shape, side pockets. Purchased from the Lyell shop in Nolita. Perfect condition, worn once or twice (it is just a bit too big on me-- this is best for a 4 or maybe a small 6, as the shape is very forgiving). The only thing is that I have lost the white slip that goes underneath-- that is why I am not putting this on ebay. 100% linen. Sorry for my terrible pictures; it is the exact dress as in the first picture.

Length: 33

Bust: 18

Shoulders: 14.5

Paid: close to $300 (I am cringing as I write that); asking: $75, includes shipping.

End date: March 15

mociun tie-front linen dress

Congrats, Allison!

mociun tie-front linen dress, size Small.

purchased a bird in cobble hill two winters ago because the color (an peacock blue) was absolutely captivating. unfortunately, the color has also been its downfall because i can never figure out what to wear with it. also, it's a bit too snug around the ribcage, which makes me even less likely to wear it. the color is vibrant in person, but also subtle in the variegated thread.

flat measurements:
shoulders--15"
chest--16.5"
high waist--14"
hips--full skirt
length--43"

details:
super soft linen, tie-front with hook-eye closure at high waist. unlined, full skirt, nearly mid-calf length on me (5'4").

imperfections:
none. will be gently handwashed and air-dried before shipping.

costs:
paid $290, asking $95 (includes shipping).

tucker by gaby basora dress, never worn

Congrats, Lara!

tucker by gaby basora silk dress, size Small.

i bought this from jake two summers ago but have never worn it. probably because i don't own a slip and i don't like the elastic cuffs on the billowy sleeves. the color looks fantastic on keri russell but doesn't do much for me. matthew isn't too keen on it either, so away it goes!

flat measurements:
length--40"
shoulders, chest, hips, etc, will probably fit anyone who is a size 4-small 8.

details:
95% silk, 5% elestane (for a bit of stretch). smocking at the collar, same fabric belt, buttons down the front, overall a very fun dress to wear.

imperfections:
none, exactly as it arrived from jake.

costs:
originally $330, paid $184, asking $45 (includes shipping).

tocca retro wool dress

Congrats, Leanne!

tocca wool dress, size 8.

purchased at saks 4 years ago when i was in a 60s phase. i love the gold embroidered dots at the collar and waist, and the wool is so soft and warm that i wish it were a blanket. it's a little too big on me. i would wear it more often but i find that mock or full turtlenecks are very uncomfortable.

flat measurements:
shoulders--15"
chest--17.5"
waist--15"
length--39" (knee length on me, 5'4")

details:
beautiful mocha color, 100% virgin wool, fully lined in 100% silk, hidden back zipper, bracelet sleeve length.

imperfections:
slight pilling around the sleeves, will take it to the dry cleaners and also try my sweater stone to get rid of the more noticeable bits.

costs:
paid $330, asking $60 (includes shipping).

zero maria cornejo tunic dress (never worn)

Congrats, Lisa!

never worn zero maria cornejo silk/cotton tunic dress, size 6

purchased last january on sale, this is another item that i'm always drawn to but never wear because i'm afraid either my clumsiness or the cats will destroy it. so many subtle lovely details typical of cornejo's designs, but the sheer white fabric makes me oh so nervous.

flat measurements:
shoulders--15" approximately
chest--19"
hips--20"
length--37-39"

details:
68% cotton, 32% silk, black striped pattern, pockets. peating at the neckline (hook-eye closure, can be worn open as photographed, straight silhouette, full length sleeves with snap cuff, never worn except to try it on when it arrived.

imperfections:
none

originally $540 (yikes!), paid $135, asking $35 (includes shipping).

hanii y cardigan

Congrats, Laura! (please send me your contact info)

hanii y wool cardigan, size 42 or small.

bought this from impulse three years ago. the softest wool cardigan you will ever own, and it hasn't pilled at all. the ribbon rosette buttons are so beautiful, and i love the fawn-taupe-white colorway.

flat measurements:
shoulders--14.5"
chest--17.5"
length--19.5"

details:
slightly cropped length, thick 100% wool (not too bulky, but very very warm), oversized rosette buttons with hidden hook-eye closure, 3/4 length sleeves.

imperfections:
the fabric covering the top hook has receded somewhat, doesn't affect the functionality or appearance. i've also found that when the cardigan is fully buttoned, the fabric puckers slightly, so i've always worn it with the bottom two buttons undone.

will be drycleaned before shipping.

costs:
paid $340 (i know, i'm nuts...), asking $50 (includes shipping)

3.1 phillip lim blouse

Congrats, Megan!

3.1 phillip lim cotton/silk blouse with crochet buttons.

i bought this at barneys a few years back on sale. i've worn it no more than 3 times for fear of 'ruining' it. can't really justify keeping it, though, especially with a baby in the house. it looks really nice with half the buttons on the bib undone!

flat measurements:
shoulders--14"
chest--18"
length--22-23"

details:
very very sheer! the crochet bib buttons unsnap, and there are two working crochet buttons on each sleeve cuff. will fit a 4-6, depending on your shoulders, length is pretty normal.

imperfections:
the tag is falling off, overall slightly wrinkled. i will take it to the dry cleaners before shipping.

costs:
paid $130, asking $30 (includes shipping)
