Direct Trade & Sell

[florentineflask.livejournal.com]

Please send an email to lachrymose @ [remove] gmail.com if interested. ^_^

I had this skirt for sale awhile ago for $27; however, it would've been better of me to offer it for trade since all I really, really, really wanted is a petticoat - white or black. I thought I could use the cash towards one of electroncat's petticoats, but I came short.

If someone is willing to trade, I would prefer a petticoat that is new/like-new condition since this skirt is new with tags - I won't be entirely picky. I just want a petticoat. If you want to buy instead, skirt will be $20. Information recap:


[The photos on the left use flash; the photos on the right show the garment in regular light (no flash).]

Measurements *FLAT*:
Waist: 13"
Stretched: 18-19"
Hips: 19"
Length with trim: 25.5"
Length without trim: 24"

Close-ups of trim:


Brand is S&S, according to the tag, and is made of 65% cotton and 35% polyester. Skirt has a black, built in slip, which can be found here with flash and here without flash. I would safely say that this would *best* fit a size 8 or a medium (someone small could wear this because the waist is elastic). I tried a skirt just like the one above while at the boutique, and it fit me snugly, with some room to spare. I wear about a size 8-9 in pants and skirts. I'd highly advise that your hips not be any wider than 38"-40" across because of the black, heart lace sewn across - makes it tough to pull up.

Note: the lace that is sewn horizontally and vertically isn't crooked - it's evenly sewn on the front and the back. Sorry that my picture shows otherwise. ^^;;;

White lace-up ballet flats. Someone wanted them at one point, but I never heard from her. *shrug* I ended up with doubles of this shoes (ugh x_x), so I'm able to offer them for $20 - or best, fair offer. Shoes are made of a leather-like material (I'm guessing that these aren't real leather), have beadwork and cut-outs on the front of the shoes, and tie with plastic laces. You can take out the laces if you want to just wear the flat. These will fit a size 8, but I'm convinced that an 8.5 can wear them upon breaking them in - I'm an 8.5 in Nine West shoes, and I plan on wearing thick socks to break them in. Shipping is via Priority Mail at three pounds; I'll refund the extra via PayPal if shipping is less.

EDIT: I will trade these shoes for a very nice petticoat. Otherwise, I would prefer cash, so that I can buy a nice petticoat. :P Can you tell how badly I want a petticoat? Yeah. >_<

I started making presents to welcome my new girl [*squeals*]. Then I noticed that these crowns can also be worn with a lovely EGL ensemble. I tried to take a picture with a decent background, so I placed these on my skirt. ^^;; They rolled around a bit. Nickel is shown for size. I have no quarters. ~_~

I really don't have much to do until I go back to school, so my time is spent in a hotel room making things. I don't have ribbons yet, but each crown will come with ties. If you don't want ribbons, just let me know. Each crown is $8. If you want me to make you a crown but are providing the beads, it'll be $4. Shipping will be first class at $1.50 (box + postage).

I use 24 gauge wire, that is strung twice (three times in certain places) through the beads in order to provide a sturdy base for the crown, making it firm, not bendy.

Thanks for reading! :D Time to wash this extra dye out of my hair. ~_~;;

I got these when I was in Taipei. I remember looking for these shoes... everywhere. @_@ [Insert mistake and ending up with two pairs. ~_~;;] Unfortunately, this size was the largest size available. :(

I'm assuming the shoes are American size, do you know what they'd be in English?

And if they are in english I <3 you

As in... UK-sized? ^^;;

From what I entered into a shoe calculator, these shoes can fit a UK 7-7.5; European 40-41.

I guess I don't get any love. ;P

Darnit x.x

I was hoping for a present for a friend. Darn his big feet! -growls-

Oooh wow the flats are cool, how much would shipping to the UK be please?

[florentineflask.livejournal.com]

Go to this website: http://ircalc.usps.gov/

Item will be shipped as a package. Pick your country from the list, and enter in a three pound rate. However you want it shipped, that's how I'll ship it. ^^

If shipping is less, I refund the extra through PayPal. :D I refunded about $7.00 to a guy in a France because shipping was less than quoted. It's not my goal to make a profit off of shipping because freight costs are already bloody expensive.

If someone would take them off my hands, I'd be grateful. ^_^ Need petticoat. Need need petticoat!
