Yep..exactly. can you fathom buying 12 dresses for less than $15? Fabric +labor+marketing: how much room is there in a $1?

so I discovered those prices in bold are per DOZEN! Boy that sure affects price :clapping:

That's a fun calculation!

I found these in my library stash and totally forgot I had them! I'm pretty sure they came from the old department store cleanout I did in Medina many many years ago. It was a store that had been in business since the late 1800s. I was up in the "left overs attic" ...in heaven! I really...

I have been working on my fashion history library and recently finished listing 6 1880 Peterson's magazines complete with their engravings and Les Mode Parisiennes full color fashion engravings. It really is fun to have such an extensive read for 1 year. The magazines are delicate but so...

Well this certainly is one kindred connection we don't need!! LOL It's my right - rotator cuff tear (and some other jargon). Up up to 4wks immobility and then 6-8 PT to repair movements. Being right handed .... it will be a "fun" challenge!! Hopefully your healing is speedy quick too...

I really don't like putting the Etsy shop "On Vacation" mode but I have to on Sunday night June 6 until early August. Of course - no orders can be placed during that time. I put a large group of items on sale so take a peek! I'm having shoulder surgery on June 8 with a long recovery period -...

thanks much! I have several more catalogs to list.... still need to work them up. It's like a trip through a movie every time I open one of these!!

Of course I keep adding to that list - lots of Mary Brooks Picken fashion/sewing course booklets from 1920s are now on plus an almost complete course (17 issues) of sewing from American System of Dressmaking. These booklets teach much more than just clothing construction. And today I put on...

If you're in the region of Rochester NY, mark your calendar and come to the Unity Church rummage & boutique sale on Sat Aug 19. 9--2. Yes we have some vintage fashion related items ! 55 Prince St.

Rochester NY had a great store "back in the day" named Edwards & Sons. It closed in 1972. Sad because it was a favorite in our family. I still have mom's "metal charge plate" somewhere in a box!! This dress was sold from that store in the late 1960s. When I found it in an estate, the...

Oh what fun hankies! I've always felt they are mini square works of art!!

They are both great!!! As an avid camper, my heart is pulled to that amazing Hudson Bay hoodie! I own such a blanket with 2 holes in it and still use it on our bed in winter. But .... now I'm thinking!!

What I love about those shoe stands is that they "clip" together so you can store them flat when not in full display.

oh my ...this concept is exactly why I have such a hard time parting with "good old things" .... keep thinking there must be some way to document them first! i agree emoti
