vintage navy skirt with embroidered anchors

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:28:34 -0500

$16.00
ahoy, ladies! check out this great navy skirt with red and white embroidered anchors on it. There is no tag, but it feels like cotton or something mixed with cotton, and I’d say around a m/l, although it has a comfy elastic waistband to fit a range of sizes. the best way to tell if this will fit you is to pull a similar item out of your own closet, lay it down flat and check it against the measurements below:

measurements lying flat are:

13” unstretched waist (the waistband stretches to around 19” lying flat so double these measurements to go all the way around your waist)
28” long

vintage bright green sleeveless polo shirt

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:28:33 -0500

$12.00
Gearing up for a totally wild badminton match? This perky green sleeveless polo might just do the trick for psyching out your opponent. Made “by David Smith”, there is no fabric content listed, but I’d guess it’s polyester. The tag says size 8, but I’d say in current sizing it’s a good bit smaller than that, so please check the measurements to make sure it will fit.

Measurements lying flat:

13” shoulder
17” bust
23” shoulder to waist
18” waist
