If we're waiting on the ModCloth fairy, I want this dress.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hey Bev, you know that the mama bat in the Australia chapter is named Bev, right?

ModCloth is charging HOW MUCH for this petticoat? [link]

Tho' I'll admit, I like this skirt. To deconstruct and turn into a bustle. [link]

Yeah, they're not cheap, Jilli. Which is a shame, but better for my bank account, I guess.

I guess they're just counting on their clientele not knowing that googling "Malco Modes chiffon petticoat" will get you a better deal.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I did, yes Allyson. It makes me smile.
I used to sew petticoats for birthday and other occasion presents. For, you know, women. Would have done for guys, too, but nobody ever asked. White only, batiste, french seamed, with a dropped yoke at the hips, rows of pintucks, eyelet beading threaded with colored satin ribbon and a matching ribbon rose, finished with a deep eyelet flounce. I must have done dozens. So much more comfy in summer than nylon. But then slips became passe, so did the pettis.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Oh man, I had to ditch several of my petticoats when I moved. A shame I couldn't get $60 a pop for them!
For those living in major urban metroplexes who've tried to sell clothing to used and vintage places, are you finding those places are super super picky now compared to 10 years ago? I swear, I went to the hassle of borrowing a car and taking 50 or so items of clothing (including a '50s style leather motorcycle jacket) to Crossroads and they weren't interested in a thing. They said they only wanted things that were a couple months old. Excuse me? I thought part of the fun and utility of shopping at a second-hand store was being able to find things much cooler than what's current supposedly in fashion...

Very nice, Beverly! I have wondered if I have the patience to attempt something with that many pin tucks.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay for the blurb, Allyson!
