My favorite Etsy shop! Bigger girls, you will love it!

I found Vintagecurve Etsy store, doing a search for "Vintage 1950s Dress L" and stumbled upon the kind of seller I can really support and return for more.

Denise Green, the seller has been wearing and still wears vintage daily for possibly decades now, and has recently decided to let go of some of her treasures that she doesn't wear anymore. The best part, aside from this being from her personal collection, is that she prices her stuff at the rate I value vintage. I just hope some of the gleaners that buy online to resell at 3 times the price don't discover her shop.

Here are two recent purchases



I love pink and black together and I am wearing the first one to work today.

Hope all you 30-35 inch waist girls take advantage of the great selection and reasonable prices.

Smart bidding...

I'm no huge ebay veteran, I've bought about 50 items, total, from ebay, but for those that are new to it, do us all a favor and don't start bidding wars and run up the prices when there is more than a half hour left on the auction! I know the sellers like a frenzy and bidding war early on, but as a shopper who is always looking for deals and doesn't want to pay more than I think it's worth, the early birds are driving up the prices. Because of them, certain sellers over at Etsy and others on Ebay are charging hundreds of dollars for regular vintage dresses just because it has a full circle skirt. When I get a free hour or two, I'll write a blog about what my opinion is when determining the price of vintage and what people SHOULD be paying for vintage.

Enough of my rant...I have so much to write, but I'm still waiting on some pics, and have another night of social activities. I'll be blogging about the Time Zone Vintage photo shoot for the website that I styled and co-produced on Sunday, about seeing the Head Cat (picture with Lxxxx) and the Kim Lenz show tonight. Hopefully I'll get it all out here by the weekend.
