diesel jeans size 29






Diesel Jeans size 29 style "Daze" in distressed denim wash. Would fit someone best with a small waist line.

Size: Marked 29, but fits like a 27 or 26. I usually wear a 27 or 28 and these are a little snug on me.

Measurements:

Waist: 30"
Inseam: 30"

Condition: Great condition, worn and washed only a few times. I'm putting them up because they are a little tight and have been hanging in my closet forever.

Paid: $90 on sale...not sure I got them four years ago!

Asking: $15 including priority shipping in USA.

Ends: Jan. 11th. Please leave your email in the comments so I can contact you when the listing is over.

Mod Double Breasted Swing Jacket with A-Line Body from H and M




Hi all,

This is a really cute swing jacket from H and M -- very Marc Jacobs in styling. It's a double-breasted cotton jacket full of cool details: slit pockets in front. Buttoned wind flap in back. The body is A-lined and the sleeves are full. There is also a single vent in the back.

Size: English 6 (XS, 0 or 2)

Measurements:

Bust: 36"
Shoulder: 15"
Length: 20.5"

Condition: excellent pre-owned condition. I have hardly worn this jacket because I bought one very similar to it at the same time. This one has not been worn nearly as much as it deserves. As you may know, H and M clothes will sometimes look older than they are since they do not press or use lint roller on their clothes before displaying them. I will press and use a lint roller so that it'll seem new once you receive it in the post.

Paid: $50 + tax from H and M in San Francisco
Asking: $30 including shipping

Miu Miu Butter Yellow Jacket.





This is a gorgeous jean jacket styled jacket from Miu Miu in the most gorgeous butter yellow.

It's in perfect condition with two exceptions -- there is a small stain on the inside of the jacket. Obviously no one will see it when you're wearing it. A bit of paint is chipping from the zippers, of which there are three: one on each sleeve cuff, the other on the front closure, a casualty of dry cleaning, but not particularly noticeable unless you're looking for flaws -- as you can see, you can't see them in the photos I've taken of the sleeve cuffs. (I've noted these generally unnoticeable aspects in the interest of full disclosure.) It's fully lined and features a number of wonderful details. (zippers, buttoned cuffs, buttoned, cuffed waist, etc.)

It's a size 38 -- I ought to remind you, Miu Miu runs small. I'm sick at the moment. If you'd like the measurements, I'd be glad to post them when I'm a little better (tomorrow?). I'm an XS, 5 4", for reference.

I paid ALOT for the jacket. Not on sale. It is Miu Miu after all. I'm going to stop humiliating myself by posting how much I paid for my things, let's just say the number starts with a 5 and has three digits.

Asking: 85 (REDUCED to $75) plus 9 for shipping (I'd like to insure the item). A bit more to send it elsewhere elsewhere.

Listing end: Jan 2, 2009. Leave your email!

Listing end date: First come, first served.

cotton sateen camisole

I made this in September with a Vogue pattern and was frustrated when the bust turned out too large (I'm a 34B, 26" waist) and it didn't fit. It's been hanging in my closet ever since, argh. I should have made up a muslin first, I guess. Oh well.

This would probably be a better fit on a 36" bust, 27-28" waist. The cami is made of goldenrod cotton sateen with a damask rose pattern woven into the fabric. It is fully lined in a dusty rose calico cotton print, and the bust is reinforced with interfacing for a smooth line. Hidden back zip. Straps are not adjustable, sorry.

I couldn't tell you how much this cost me in materials or time, but it's yours for $12, which includes shipping to the continental US. First come, first served this time.

cheers!

SOLD! ORPHAN drop-crotch dark denim pants






I'm sorry about the lack of model-shots. These pants really need to be seen on, but the only full length mirror I have is in a really poorly-lit part of my house. I am just hoping that some of you have seen these pants on www.pixiemarket.com and know how cool they are from that.

So, these are drop-crotch dark denim pants, impeccably made with side-buttoning on legs (see pic), and extra buttoning on the waist so that they can be worn high-waist, a la jodhpur-style, or lower on the waist for more of a harem pant look. It's hard to believe, I know, but these pants are really flattering on(again, you would need to see them on to know this-- sorry!). I wanted these for ages and almost drove myself nuts checking on Pixie Market to see if they had re-ordered them, then finally got them, wore them obsessively for about two weeks, and then....never wore them again. I don't know why. I'm an idiot. These pants are cool. Somebody should be wearing them.

Condition: excellent. I just noticed one of the ankle buttons is missing, but I still have the spares.

SIZE: Now, listen carefully. These pants were listed as XS, but XS was described as "running large" and suitable for anyone who wears a "size 26 to 28 in jeans." I myself take a 26 in jeans, which was the lower end of the spectrum, and these pants were indeed available in size XXS. In hindsight, that was the size I should have got (might have actually worn them then) but I couldn't get my head around ordering a XXS (it seemed so excessive! What am I, 13 years old?!). So don't be hung up on the "size XS": these pants would best fit a size 27/28/29.

Measurements:
Waist, side to side, laying flat: 16 inches
Rise of drop-crotch: hard to measure exactly, but around 16 inches...
Outer leg: 39 inches.

Paid: $189

Asking: $40, plus $10 for shipping.

This blogger [here: http://www.cmykaboom.com/labels/fash-luv.html] bought them and wrote about them (scroll down to Tuesday, July 8th entry).

Please leave your email in comments before Tuesday 29th (am planning on going to post office on Wednesday).
