This incredible set of two suits, a matching swing coat and blouse for GBP 250
I know it seems a lot but this will absolutely revolutionise my wardrobe and my bonus is due in soon so I thought I'd treat myself.

I've been wanting a brown suit for ages.

I hope it fits, if not i'm in trouble...

These are absolutely fantastic - did they come yet? Do they fit?

not come yet - I'm paying in instalments since its so much money., so I'm halfway there.

... lawdy I miss the days when I could just spend that sort of cash and not care.

Gasp and squeal. Rarely does a vintage item make me do that. When I rolled this page down it did just that.


It has all the bells and whistles as they say...

I will pay good money for someone to make me one of those.

 

[texasgirl]

Thanks girls! I am super excited! I'll let you know how it works out. I really have been looking for a 30s red day dress for years. I finally set up a saved search in ebay and after tons that weren't right, finally found it. I suggest trying that for anyone looking for a certain item.

 

[Miss Sis]

TexasGirl, yee-hah! What a dress. Red dress and red hat! Woo hoo! You are going to look the business!

P.S. Got me a 30s red felt hat a little while ago, so we can be the Red Hat gang.

It has all the bells and whistles as they say...

I think it's Texasgirl who has the bells and whistles THAT dress is just gonna set them off...and maybe a few fire alarms too. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[kamikat]

Texasgirl, I'm normally not a fan of red dresses, but WOW!!! That is a stunner!

 

[texasgirl]

Thanks so much girls! Yes Miss Sis- we'll have to start our own Red Hat Society- vintage style

 

[KittyT]

Wow, that dress is amazing, Texasgirl!

Oh. My. Gosh. I can't believe my luck! Actually, it's all thanks to 23SkidooWithYou! <3
Earlier in this very thread, she posted pics of a cuddle coat she'd purchased:

When I saw it my heart went zing! I knew right then and there I wanted one, but it was just a dream. I told her how I felt, and she found this one on etsy and thought of me:

Judging from the pic, it didn't look half as fabulous as hers, but I thought one has to take chances, and I can always take it to the tailor to make it look more like 23SkidooWithYou's coat (I'd saved pics of it).

It arrived today, and not only does it fit perfectly, it is the spitting image of 23SkidooWithYou's cuddle coat! I feel like jumping up and down and bursting out into this song:

Thank you sweetheart! You just made me a happier and prettier girl

 

[23SkidooWithYou]

Cherry Lips!

It really was my pleasure to find it for you! I am absolutely TICKLED that you love it and it fits well. I'm also floored that it's the same coat. That is one huge coinkydink, if you ask me. It was truly meant to be yours! Wear it in good health and try not to cause bodily harm to the y chromosome population when you wiggle down the street "cuddled" up!

 

[ThesFlishThngs]

Clearly, there's no no spender bender for me, but at least this boned corset was on sale. And I had a coupon code. Let's hope I don't break it while learning how to wear it...

 

[23SkidooWithYou]

You are adorable!

With St. Patrick 's Day on the horizon, I like to get all my inspirational "Irish" movies together. It's been a while since I've seen it, and I sure hope you won't mind the comparisson, but your new find kind of reminds me of the BurlyQ corset costumes from "Far and Away".

Is the striped part attached to the skirt?
