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.
ending date: April 24

APC Dusty Pink Dress XS






This dress is so lovely. Bought it two years ago at the APC store and have only worn it a few times. It's sheer so you have to wear a slip underneath it. Has great pocket detail and a two buttons on the back and bottom of sleeves. There is a small snag/run on the back part of the dress that is barely visible and two very light stains that I think would come out with dry cleaning on the bottom of the dress, I've tried to photograph them but it's hard to show up. The close up pictures also do not represent the true color which is a pale dusty pink.

I paid about $220 for this dress and am asking for $40 including shipping.

It is made of 100% cotton. Shoulders are 15" and length is 32."

Listing ends March 1st.

APC Ecru Top XS





I really love this top and unfortunately it's gotten too small for me, only wore it a couple of times. I sold it on ebay but it was returned from the buyer as she said there was staining around the inside of the collar....I've taken a picture and don't see anything...It's a great fabric that has a subtle diamond pattern woven into the fabric and cute front pockets.

It's made of 100% cotton and shoulders are approx 14.5" and length is 24." It was org. around $200 and I'm asking for $50 which includes shipping.

The fabric is a lovely silk, very pale blue with salmon, beight, goldenrod, and navy flowers (again, sorry for my awful pictures; the color is best represented by the first picture).

I bought this at Barneys for $250, wore it once, asking $50, includes shipping.
