The ones that got away

[Rockapin-up]

This went for $899.99 on Ebay
Do some people just have more money than sense ???

Is it a dress or pants at the bottom. And yes people have more money then sense lol lol

 

[deadpandiva]

it will get away because (a) i just bought a vanity, and (b) it's out of my price range (but still totally affordable at $250!!!) any portlanders want it???

That's so pretty I could cry.

 

[deadpandiva]

$134 for this pattern. I saved a copy of the envelope front and back. I am hoping I can have someone make it for me for $250 or less.

Don't know what the general market value on that catsuit is, but it had one effect on me...I've gone and mixed myself a cocktail!

 

[Smuterella]

That catsuit looks really cheap and tacky to me, and I'm sure it could also be fairly easily made. Was it a famous label?

The catsuit is a "Ceeb of Miami.

i just got outbid for these Bakelite glasses which i have been watching for about a week.They went for $36....I loved them

oh well..i really couldn't even afford my bid anyhow, so maybe it was fate.

I did end up with a new Doris Day record today though for 2 bucks, so it ain't all bad.

You ARE *** on a stick SC!

"Cold Shoulder" is the actual term for those dresses. I like them all! Very flattering on those of us with chubby upper arms, still gives the sleeveless effect without so much wobble.

But I am shrinking...

If it makes you feel better, these aren't bakelite. They're probably lucite. Bakelite was never was made in a pearlized color. It would have always been a solid color or transparent. Plus, bakelite fell out of fashion by the 1950s when these glasses would have been made. Lucite was the new "it" plastic.

 

[olive bleu]

well..i had kinda wondered about that..they were advertised as such, but it didn't quite seem right to me. However, I am far from an expert on this, so i guess i believed it..They were cute though, but i can't afford 36.00 for them anyway.

Aw, thanks Miss 1929!
