What goodies are on sale!?

[MissQueenie]

I just Gaylord's conservation catalog in my inbox here at work and it turns out they've got a sale on 'til June 30th! If any of you are interested, their costume boxes (15% off, for storing:gowns, dresses, suits, etc), conservation heads (10% off, for storing: hats, obviously), artifact boxes (15% off, forstoring watches, jewelry, cuff links, etc), textile boxes (15% off, for storing textiles flat), textile roll storage (10% off, for storing textiles without creasing them), and acid-free buffered tissue (up to 20% off, for stuffing/wrapping hats, shoes, clothings, etc) are all on sale.

Even on sale, these products are not cheap unfortunately...but it's an investment -- you've already shelled out the clams for that gorgeous dress, or those wonderful hats...it'd be a shame not to protect them if you can afford to do it. (This is me trying desperately to rationalize my way into purchasing some of these supplies... )

Just thought I'd give y'all a heads-up on it. Their website is www.Gaylord.com

Stop Staring 20% off sale

Hi Ladies,
I hope this message finds you all wonderful
Anyway, I just visited the Stop Staring website to see if they had any cute new repro dresses out, and it turns out they are having a sale. The sale is for 20% off your entire purchase. They have some really cute clothing, and I normally don't buy directly from them, because for some reason they do not offer all of their dresses for purchase in their on-line store. Usually the ones I want are the ones that are only sold through other retail outlets. Well, I think this is a pretty good deal, and I do have a few of their dresses and have been happy with them. Click here if you're interested in any of their clothes, now's the time to buy.

Happy Shopping
Daisy, your friend and fellow shopaholic.

Heeeeyyy!! They always show pictures of stuff that I can't find on their sites or their affiliates. That's so not fair, I really want the strapless black dress with the buttons on the front page and it's nowhere on their site.

Thanks for the heads-up, I think it is time for xmas shopping! ^_^

BV - (Ohh man. I'm wearing the same dress as Paris Hilton. I really thought I could go my whole life without ever saying that.)

 

[Fleur De Guerre]

Why aren't any of the fabulous new items in the online shopping area! Waaah! lol

 

[Lady Day]

Dont wanna whine, but I have a Stop staring dress that Im not too happy with. The cut is nice, but the fabric is horrid.

If you buy anything from them....thank them for supporting Classic Style magazine. We wil be featuring some of their clothes in our fashion shoot for the premiere issue.

I agree with you, Lady Day. Also, I find that the armholes are often cut uncomfortably high

 

[artdecodame]

It's probably the polyester content of (some of) their dresses. I find that even in the cold months it feels too hot or just itchy and odd.

 

[jitterbugdoll]

I think it's the strech factor that I don't like--the fabric doesn't drape like vintage fabric does

 

[artdecodame]

Ahh, Lycra can be very, very bad, indeed.

Their hollywood waisted pants look really nice! And they have highwaisted dark jeans too that look rather promising!

 

[Lauren]

I've been eyeing those jeans, too

The "Norma Jeans"? I think I'm gonna head over to My Baby Jo's store this weekend to try them on. They look super cute.

I only have one Stop Staring dress and I have never worn it because I dont have shoes to match! Regardless of fabric issues, I love there stuff even though its expensive. It's just nice to know that there's a good repro company out there. I always wonder why there arent anymore? The only other good one I can think of is Revamp.

 

[Lauren]

Where's their store? I'd like to go try on dresses too. I have no idea if their clothes would fit me. [huh]

If you email them and tell them there's something you like but can't find it on their site, they will tell you where you can get it. Customer service is very responsive.

It depends on what look you're going for. I mean, anyone could pick a Stop Staring repro out of a vintage dress lineup, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. They make very cute, flattering dresses with a vintage flair and not an ounce of frump.

The high-waisted jeans are just great. You guys just reminded me that I need to return mine for a different size. (I shop at Daddyos.com because they sell stopstaring stuff a lot cheaper than mybabyjo, and they're ridiculously good about returns.)

Thanks! I'll do that. Now I want to wear that black dress for New Year's.

I was not impressed with the jeans at all. I had anticipated that the waist would be a little large due to my hourglass build (and having to order to fit my hips/rear), but it was positively huge (off from the listed measurements by four inches)!

I promptly returned them and ordered the Queen of Heartz jeans, which I absolutely love!

I have two of their dresses, and I really like them. If you can't find what you are looking for on their website, try these places. I know, it does kind of stink that they don't offer their entire line directly through their site. These site's don't have the 20% off sale that the Stop Staring sites have.
BabyGirl Boutique. I just discovered this place and have never bought anything from them, but it looks like a great online shoppe.
DaddyO's
Yahoo has some good links
Red Dress Shoppe I have ordered quite a few items from them, and have been very happy with their service. They only have a small selection of Stop Staring Dresses, but they also have some other dresses by other companies, that are very cute and vintage-y.
Buttercup Clothing has a small selection too.
There used to be a store on-line that carried a larges selection of the Stop Staring dresses, but I just can't seem to find it anymore. If anyone has other links to place where we can get them, please post. Also, I've found a few places on E-Bay that carry them. Just do a search in the Clothing, Shoes, and Accessories section. Sometimes they will come up at really good prices.
