Not only did you SCORE! You Looked Fantastic doing it!

Thanks in advance. Again, my apologies for the large pics. This choker necklace belonged to my great-grandmother. I have no intentions of selling it, but I have always been very curious about it. I think it may be Victorian? My Mom always said it was made of 'pot metal.' There...

Thanks in advance! I apologize for the rather large pic, but needed to show the detail. Nice 40's or 50's ? Copper & enamel set. I can't find this hallmark anywhere. Actually, I don't even know where to look. I *think* it might be Native America, maybe? Here's a tweaked photo...

I have Just The Dress! wooo-hoooo! Just need some off-white or white 60's pumps to go with it. I can sooo fix my hair in a 60's bouffant. LOL! Actually, I thought the guy who won runner up was pretty good. Maybe I need to watch more of the show.

:clapping: :clapping: :clapping: Bravo! What fun that was to watch! Very well done, Nicole & crew. I think Alannah stole the show, though... :wub:

Thanks so much, y'all! It was Season One re-runs that I watched, and I'm glad to have her last name now, too. I just wish I had a 2" wide Black patent leather belt for it. It would sure look a ton better. Thanks again. L.

Thanks in advance! Love the huge buttons & pockets. I believe it's late 50s - early 60s. It is not gingham fabric, just Black & White checks. I watched 4 re-runs of Mad Men the other night just to see the clothes. 1st time I ever watched it. This looks like a dress Peggy might...

Thanks again! I prefer my cabana jackets with a boy in them, too, (joules). The Electric Blue of the 60's was Royal Blue in the 50's & before. And Cabana came to me this morning as I was waiting for my java to brew. Great minds... ;)

(((Pauline))) Some people are just plain ignorant, hateful, and bigoted. Note that I said ignorant first. That leads to the other two. I'm Very Proud of you for standing up for yourself. But - I'm also sorry you had to. This is the 21st Century, for goodness sake! I really hope that...

Great. Now I want your blouse. LOL! Thanks so much, Joules. You Rock. :)

Jantzen Men\'s Bathing Jacket - help, please? Hi y'all. I have a Jantzen Men's terrycloth bathing jacket - Swim Jacket - Pool Jacket? What do you think the best Name or KW is? I looked at the label resource & the closest is an Aussie one from the 40's. My date guess prior to...

Oh... They are beauties. :wub: Yes - Definitely list as a set.

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.
