I think I'm gonna change my name to Ms. Independence. :kiss2:

As requested - here are some really quick pics of my Hattie Carnegie Christmas pin. I tried to get a shot of the stamp, but no matter what I do, it's blurry. As you can see, someone tried to repaint part of the leaves. I really wish they had not done that. I'm thinking about taking it to...

So - am I allowed to post to this thread if I don't use a link? I am always so confused about this stuff. Thanks! p.s. - I am in love with that pale blue linen, Maggie & the tape measure is entirely too cute!

I have to say thanks to you, Melody. I have been having a hard time trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong as I don't have a great turn over, and I can list an item that is very similar to one that has sold for $200-300, but end up getting $30 if I'm really lucky. So - I am in this mode...

Fabulous!!! I'll be right there! It's Leisa with an e i.

I just wanted to concur on a few points. > Your Bracelet is Lovely! > That dude was a jacka$$. I've done a lot of picking & trading with Antique dealers over the years. Here in Vegas, especially, they are for the most part, jerks. The ALL play that, "It's junk, I'll give ya 2 bucks...

That is soooo Awesome, Maureen! I have one piece of Hattie Carnegie - a Christmas Holly sprig pin that's missing a good bit of enamel. It was at my local thrift & I watched it weekly as they mark things down regularly. It never sold til I got it for a Song! It's a rush, isn't it? :excited:

Body Conscious & Body Contour are both correct, ladies. I asked a seller who uses it pretty often. Just thought y'all might want to know.

I'm with the "Sample" consensus, for what it's worth.

Can I please see the label? Just for curiosity sake. It looks very much like late 70's to me. I would highlight the Beading & Sequins, the Illusion piece at the shoulders & neckline, and the Accordian Pleating. Love the open back, too! Very feminine & quite sexy inan understated way...

I concur with everyone about starting your bidding at a price you'll be happy to get. As far as other sellers re-selling my items, that's cool with me. Like Kristine said - it's the food chain concept. If I pay $3 for a garment & sell it for $20, I'm okay. If the buyer sells it for $40, I...

Thanks so much, ladies. I love the colors, too. And the print. I don't know why I doubt myself with stuff like this. I just always need to be 100% correct. It's been listed as 60's. :-)

Bravo, Mary Alice!!! Now I just spent too much time cruising around youtube for 50's fashion. Check this one out there: From Arizona: Western Fashion 1950's It's all about Squaw Dresses. Remember a couple of years ago 'we' were told the term is Politically Incoreect? I got a big kick...

You can respond to feedback left on ebay AND you can ask ebay to remove it if it is a neg. Point them to the auction description or terms or wherever you noted the combined shipping. And from now on, ya may want to call that a "shipping discount." I use that. I think I found it in my seller...

I'm 90% sure this dress is 60's mostly due to the print. Cotton shirtwaist with really tarnished brass buttons. No labels anywhere. Many Thanks! :kiss2: A better look at the print & colors.

:wub: kittens :wub: Mary Jane - your best *tool* for getting the baby girl to fall in love with you is tuna. That and time & patience. My mz_bunny was feral when I rescued her. I always spoke softly to her & tried not to make any sudden moves - that is until she wised up & became the Queen...

Will do right now, Anne. nowandthenstyle is on facebook, too, if that helps.

Thanks so much, ladies. It doesn't make sense to me that the handles would be lucite & the base would be plastic, so I'm just going to go with plastic. And I agree about the purse kit. I had wondered if maybe it wasn't one. I don't intend to spend a lot of time on these as they are both...

Thanks so much for taking the time to help me figure these out. 1. Brown leather - faille lining - weird closure & the metal is oxidized on the doo-dads. Lucite trim piece. I think 40's? Is it older? 2. What's supposed to be cream crochet with a gold band near the top. I think it's...

I googled her name & found one picture only. The Indiana State Museum has one of her dresses. Sorry, but as just a 'friend' I'm not allowed to post links.

When will your article be in the magazine? I would love to read it.

I can't help with the date. You're right about it being rather timeless. But the zipper pull may be a hint. As to the loops on the collar, I suspect there was a tie of some sort or a narrow scarf.

It looks to me like someone sewed the Joseph label in it as well. What does the original label say, please? I can't see worth a darn. Awhile back, Couture Allure wrote a very informative blog about people sewing high-end labels into vintage clothing. I can't post the link, but you should...

That's fab info! Many Thanks! Hopefully I can get it to work for me in the future, but when I used "search" then typed in Charmode, it comes back as no such thing.

Do any of you know the dates Sears used the Charmode label? I'm trying to find out for a 'modern' seller. Here's her label. Many Thanks!

I'm so old they started after my decade. LOL! But, I got a huge grin when I saw the '63 Mary Quant. I was so enthralled by her styles.

I need to press the D. Crystal dress. At first look, I thought 50's, but it really fits perfectly with all the Mad Men stuff I've been perusing, so I'm going with early 60's - I think. LOL! I'll post pics of all of these later this week. Thanks again, Anne. :wub:

# 4 is a Spiegel label. And I'd say likely 80's on the top it's in. Maybe even later, but not "new." That pink lace is really lovely.

Bravo, Jonathan. :clapping: :clapping: All I wanna know is when do you ever sleep?
