Show Us Your Purchases!

After my third trip to Target in the last week to buy the black shirtdress I posted about earlier, I am getting quite frustrated! :rage: I bought a large because when I tried one on (same brand, same dress, different pattern) it fit fine, but they didn't have plain black...so off to another Target I went...got the Large, but it didn't fit. Returned it, got an XL, and that didn't fit! Now I'm on the hunt to buy an XXL and I'm finding that they are all out!! Grumble, grumble....

Had my fair share of luck on the bay tonight, though I lost quite a few beauties too. Here's a dress I won, that I think is very sweet, so I was stunned that no one else bid on it, and I got it for a bargain. [huh]

 

[Pink Dahlia]

Gasp! It's beautiful! :eusa_clap

 

[Shearer]

Ohhhh, there's some lovely dresses and patterns being bought. I really wish I had stuck with sewing after my high school home ec class!

I know I'm not even supposed to be looking at eBay, but... the Buy It Now... it mocks me!

Taffeta is swishy:

And this dress had neat little ladybug-esque thingies on it:

And I can't resist something that looks like a smooshed ladybug!

 

[Joie DeVive]

Gasp!

That blue tafeta swishy is gorgeous!!

You have the best luck! Your growing dress collection is amazing!

It shows all of his work. I thought it was a good price at 12.98

I bought these little Seychelles 1 inch loafer type slip ons!

My roommate has the cutest vintage pair that are very similar. Hers are better, but these are pretty cute too. They'll be perfect to wear with jeans.

I'm in love with the blue taffeta dress, Shearer!

 

[Rockapin-up]

Oh yeah and here's the coat I got off Ebay:

It doesn't come with the fur collar, that's separate.

 

[Rockapin-up]

Wow Rockapin, you hit the jackpot!!! Everything is so lovely. I picked up that book too, it's wonderful!

PigeonToe, I saw those shoes online today, they are so very cute. Let us know how they fit.

Ladystardust that is a lovely dress!

Shearer your dresses are lovely too! I especially love the white striped one. Perfect for a hot summer day.

Cool now we can both study the photos and practice the poses and facial expresions in the mirror lol lol

 

[RetroModelSari]

I just received that one:

It´s full with recently take photos and vintage ones. Some of the recent ones are not too authentic hairwise, but the clothes are surely a treat!

 

[Pink Dahlia]

Oh Rocka! Those pins (are they pins?) are gorgeous!

I thought this topic might have been pushed back with all the hullaballoo going on today.

Regardless, I won this today:

The listing said 60s but I thought it was too cute to pass up.

fftopic:
I'm getting a little annoyed with eBay lately. Three items I have purchased lately haven't fit. One the seller listed the measurements incorrectly and the others just didn't fit (too big/too small). The good news though: found homes for all of them thanks to FL.

the two ladies in the front row are my latest purchases, they need a little fix to their hairdos, but I love them anyway :eusa_clap

 

[Rockapin-up]

Amelie, those dolls are just lovely.

Lady Day, How cool that you have it too. I actually had tried that dress on at torrid last year and waited to long to buy. I'm glad I did cause now I got it for half the price. Where do you ware yours? Can you ware it to work or do you think it's a bit much?

 

[Pink Dahlia]

Barbies! Yay! :eusa_clap

 

[Amelie]

And I am waiting for four more to come this week!! I am so exited to have them!!

(yes I told me to stop buying hats... I had to start buying something else lol)

 

[Pink Dahlia]

Here's another one:

I love the embroidery on the pocket!

I think it should go smashingly with a necklace I just bought.

Its too much for work lol unless I wear a sweater. I dont want the babies saying 'hi' to everyone. But I just cant get past the fabric. Im still thinking of taking it apart and drafting a pattern from it.
