i’m slowly listing some clothes (mostly vintage) on ebay. i have a hard time parting with vintage clothes, especially if they have great patterns and are well-made– but i’m forcing myself to let go of things that i don’t wear. i’d rather they go to new homes where they’ll be worn an appreciated. i bought the strapless number in the top photo for a wedding dress. it’s too big for me, and i planned to alter it. i ended up finding another dress that fit perfectly. but isn’t that dress amazing?? my plan is to continue adding items to ebay for the next few weeks…

  1. LENA!! i’m so glad you’re posting these up! i love vintage! and i’m obsessed with ebay!

  2. it would look so cute on your rena… but you would definitely have to alter it. it’s maybe a size 10-12… i’m not sure. but i was planning to have it taken in.

  3. awww man, I saw that top and fell head over heels but I think it’s too small 🙁

    size 4 is a UK 8 isn’t it?

  4. hi famapa
    the dress is several sizes larger than a 4-6 actually. i would guess a US 10 or 12. i was planning to have it altered to fit, but never did. it’s a beauty!!

  5. thanks lena! I actually meant the bottom pic, what do you call a top in the states? a blouse? fashion terms on this side the pond is a whole other language! when I’m in the states my american friends laugh when I call a tank top a vest and I laugh at them when they say pants (which is underwear over here) about trousers! 🙂

    is that blouse/top/shirt thing tiiiiiiny?

  6. these are gorgeous. also great photography skills. can you fly/hover? i’m impressed..

  7. famapa–
    oops! you were right, we call it a “top”, but i thought you said “top photo” for some reason. i may be losing it.. haha. i’m not sure how to describe it in terms of sizing… it is a loose style though, so i bet it would fit you.

    sarah– funny, it does appear that i’m hovering over that dress! i held the camera out so that i could get a straight on view.

  8. ohhhh post them on dignswap.com, and you can trade them for something else, they had some cute stuff.. i have my eye on the pink marc jacob jacket=)

  9. Love the red & white blouse. I'll keep an eye out for more of your listings on ebay!

  10. Both these vintage items are amazing! Your strapless dress is spread out on the dining table, looking delicious!
