Lol at 'pictures do not do this outfit justice'. Is it a multi-sensory experience? Looks like it could be.

i suggest you list it under the other category of 'retro caravan curtains' and maybe mention cath kidston a few times.

thanks for sharing!

The yellow one is actually ok, for the right occasion.

What size are you lollypopz?

Good luck, lol, looks like you'll be taking it to the charity shop.

I think I"d tell her you got a fiver for it just to keep her quiet and bung it in Oxfam. Gotta be better than explaining why it didn't sell.

The yellow suit reminds me of Jane Fonda in 9-5

I know - the thought had crossed my mind.

TBH she has a heart of gold bless her, and I dont think she'd be that bothered if they didnt sell, but its probably easier and kinder to bung her a tenner and send them to oxfam.

Unfortunately I'm a size 18/20 so not even a chance of taking it out a bit to fit me, pants! Good luck though!

God it is gross. I bet loads of nanas would love it !!!! Only trouble is, do they shop on e-bay. It is the kind of thing my mil would wear, but at 75, she doesn't 'do e-bay'.

So will you be owning up to it not selling, and then when facing her disbelief asking for £2 towards your listing fees?

Report
geordiemacminx · 17/03/2008 18:42

Fortunatley it was free listing weekend - gonna bung her £15 and tell her they both sold.
