Searching eBay

[VargasGirl]

Hello Ladies!
Christmas is coming, and I am searching eBay for vintage clothing items (mainly dresses) for myself, which my mom will pay for as my gifts. I am having trouble findning anything decent for a reasonable price. I mainly try searching for:
40's dress
1940's dress
30's dress
1930's dress
vintage dress (but this brings up a lot of junk)
WWII dress
World War Two dress
WW2 dress

What do you all type into the search bar? I'm running out of ideas.

Try not searching, and just looking at the stuff listed in the category that you want. It's all sorted by date, etc:

*
Pre-1901 (Victorian & Older)
(0)
*
1901-19 (Edwardian, WWI)
(0)
*
1920-38 (20s, Depression)
(0)
*
1939-46 (WWII)
(0)
*
1947-64 (New Look-Early 60s)
(0)
*
1965-76 (Mod, Hippie, Disco)
(0)
*
1977-89 (Punk, New Wave, 80s)
(0)
*
Other Women's Clothing
(0)

If you are a plus sized gal I can give you some more help, but other than that I think that is your best bet!

Yes, what Kaitlyn said! Also try searching for pinup dress, or search for gown instead of dress. Or suit, or outfit. Good luck, I'm sure you'll find something!!

You could try looking over at http://specialistauctions.com in the clothing section. They just opened up their vintage section very recently and the sellers there have some beautiful things.
