Here in the California version of Phenotype: fabulous, we've been getting spring-like weather for several months know. (Sorry, not trying to brag!) However, it's only recently that I've been bit by the freshen-up bug that prompts a thorough spring cleaning. The last several purges have been offered back to the thrift stores that have been so good to me, so this time I offer it to you!
I've got the sizing and content as described on the label, and also a little about how it fits, to give some better sizing estimates. These days, I'm a *curvy* pear/hourglass, dress size 8-10 and 5'6" tall.
Cami, M (fits like medium )
Cotton crochet tunic/mini-dress, with awesome belled elbow-length sleeves. Lined in the body. Lining stops at upper thigh, crochet hits mid-lower thigh.
AA Studio AA, size 12 (fits like 8-10)
A heavier-weight poly/rayon blend knit, more substantial than jersey tees but not quite ponte. Side gathers on left with tie (loose in picture). Incredibly comfy. Mid-thigh length, came to a few inches above my knees.
George, 4 (fits like 6-8)
I *love* the abstract, brushstroked floral pattern. Cool notched neckline, self belt. 100% cotton with blended lining. Fairly fitted bodice, nearly-full-circle skirt, hits just below knee length.
no label, 2 (fits loose on 2-4, fitted on 6-8)
Oh man. This blazer is SUPER cute. Light grey wool blend, great belled elbow sleeves. It made me feel very Victorian with its cropped, fitted form, like a riding jacket. Would be a great base for a steampunk costume. Needs a somewhat smaller bust than mine.
Banana Republic, M (fits like small-medium)
Gauzy lightweight 100% cotton blouse with polka dots of heavier bits woven in. Hook-and-eye up the front, elastic at [high] waist. Could use a dye bath, the white is showing its age -- I have a suspicion that the dots won't dye as intensely as the rest, which will be fun. On a sentimental note, this is the blouse I wore to interview for medical school (aww, so long ago!)
no label (fits like medium)
Looking closely at this one, I think it's handmade -- and it's essentially reversible to its grey-brown lining, since the seams are contained. Tunic-minidress on me, hits at upper thigh.If you're interested in any of these, speak up! I'll want to work something out for shipping, but am giving away the clothes. On a related note, there are also several pairs of shoes that I'm purging. However, since I put more into my shoes and pretty much only get Nice Things, those *are* being listed for sale on eBay (along with some other stuff). Check it out, if you're so inclined. I ship anywhere in the US and will be happy to toss in some of these garments too!
Anyone else cleaning out the closet these days? Any buried treasures? I-Can't-Believe-I-Ever-Wore-That embarrassments? Spring wishlists? I broke my No New Clothing resolution (but am being redeemed on a technicality), but it is *so* worth it -- I'll show you next time!
wow, you have tiny feet! I'm a 9 :)
ReplyDeletelovely clothes, but I'm a size 10! I love that green dress, but doubt it would fit! :)
Don't write it off! I've finally conceded that I'm too short-waisted for that dress, but at 39-29-41 it's definitely the right size, with a little wiggle room.
ReplyDeleteI've got low-end-of-average feet, but definitely small for my height. I attribute it yo years of essentially foot binding in competitive Irish dance...though, my sister doesn't have that issue. It's probably genetics -- I'm an amusing mix of short & round (hello, short-waisted!) from one side with tall & lean from the other (my 5'9" sister and I have the same inseam, and she's substantially taller than I).
I wish the grey blazer would fit me, since I might be in need of a steampunk costume this fall! I think it would be too big though, and not have the right shape for my costume.
ReplyDeleteCloset purges feel so good. :) Can't wait to see what you got!
