how sweet of you!

i saw a fruity one on etsy but they are so expensive. the prices seem to have gone up even in the past week. :'(

i was watching this antiques programme though and one of the people on there was talking about how things go in and out of fashion quite drastically, so perhaps the swirl craze will die down in a few years and they will be more affordable.

This may sound a little dumb but what is a ‘swirl dress’? :eek: I’ve never heard of it in terms of a dress design- When you say a ‘swirl dress’ are you referring to a dress with a full circular skirt? Or a Brand? Please Help.

Looks a lovely dress Kate O Potato (great name btw)

Haha I’ve just been on your blog and found out! …..In all the years I’ve dressed in and collected vintage never have I come across this brand- well it’s something new to look out for!

Just won this on Ebay. It's listed as "50s style" and is supposedly stretch cotton, but the tag looks awfully vintage to me. In any case, who cares. It's simple, pretty and will be a great wardrobe addition for the summer!

I got this stocking dryer a little while back on Etsy. It is seriously one of the best purchases I've ever made. It's a little kitchy, but takes up no space and is just so darned handy - no more clip hangers taking up tons of room in the tub :) I highly recommend picking one up.

I have 3 Swirls and not even an offer on them. I wanted this group to have the first shot at them.
I state this as as a dealer for most dealers it doesn't hurt to offer. All they can do is say no or counter.
Don't be scared Annie.

To be honest, Foofoo, this could be because your stuff is priced pretty high compared to what a lot of buyers are paying on Ebay and Etsy at the moment. Even if you're willing to take offers, most buyers will be unwilling to make an offer if the original asking price is still higher than they would normally pay.

I don't know which ones they are! I can't actually see very many on ebay when I search... I'm searching 'swirl wrap dress', maybe I'm doing it wrong?

Foofoo's shop isn't on Ebay - she has one on Tias and one on Rubylane. Follow the link in her sig.

You're limiting your search too much. Try "Swirl dress", "vintage Swirl" in the clothing category, vintage wrap dress, or try searching for Swirl in the description field - some sellers may not know that Swirl is a selling point and it might not be listed in the auction title.
