No, no photos. Sorry Snarklings, I've been too busy. If the descriptions aren't enough for you to make up your mind and you absolutely MUST have photos, I'll try and find time.

All three of these jackets were made for me by the talented [livejournal.com profile] bluejay23, and are in perfect condition. I just decided that I'm not madly in love with them enough to bother having them altered since I've lost some weight.

(The approximate bust & waist measurements for all three are 44"b and 36"w.)

- Burgundy wool Edwardian-style riding jacket: Size 16/18 -ish, and copied from my beloved J. Peterman riding jacket. Shawl collar, 4 buttons down the front, princess-seamed bodice, and a 3/4 circle peplum that goes just below the hips. The color is somewhere between cherry and wine, and is stunning. Oh yeah, and it's lined in black satin. $45.

- Black satin Edwardian-style riding jacket. The exact same jacket as the burgundy one listed above, but done in a light-to-mid-weight black satin. (Yes, it's lined.) $35.

- Black/silver stretch velvet batwing-point hem jacket/overdress. Size 16-18 -ish. Princess seamed, and is full enough to be worn over petticoats. Mandarin collar, lots of silver buttons (with stars on them!), and made from a mid-weight sparkly stretch velvet (the base of the fabric is black, but has so much silver sparkly thread that the effect is more shimmery gunmetal than anything else. It is NOT the sort of sparkly fabric that sheds glitter). $35.

If one of these things must be yours, leave a comment. If you're not local to me and you want something, we can figure out shipping.

Oooooo! The last one sounds divine. I would have to try it on, or any of the others, due to the shoulders of doom.

Are you going to be home, available for visitors any time this weekend?

From: [identity profile] e-juliana.livejournal.com


How wide are the shoulders on the black riding jacket? I measure 17.5/18 across the shoulders, so.... (And if sirriamnis doesn't want the sparkly one, i'll take it).

From: [identity profile] cupcake-goth.livejournal.com


I have no idea what the shoulders are, but I'll measure 'em when I get home.

(But I'm perplexed, 'cos I *know* what size you are, and I know you would swim in anything from my closet. But hey! I won't stand in your way. grin)

From: [identity profile] cupcake-goth.livejournal.com


I *believe* I'll be home Sunday, but must check with Pete. I'll let you know!

From: [identity profile] e-juliana.livejournal.com


I'm not that far behind you - 12 to 14, and I'm wider than I look, so it might hang properly. And if not - I have someone I can give it to. :)

Re: *slurp*


::tempt, tempt, tempt::

Should I set it aside for you? :)

From: [identity profile] durtro93.livejournal.com


mmmmm, I'm tempted by all three, but I would have to try them on...
of course, if they are still available after the above loverlies pick & choose ;)

From: [identity profile] thedivas.livejournal.com


May I be added to the list of people who are interested in trying them on?

From: [identity profile] martygreene.livejournal.com


Now that you've met me in real life, chances of the black jacket (#2 there) fitting me? I'm tempted by the third one as well, but I'm wary of sparkly without seeing it.

I'm curious of the shoulder measurements as well.

I suppose all of this depends on how vulturous the locals are though. I never get any of the good stuff, y'all all do stuff that puts you at computers all day, so I'm last to know everything. Well pooh on that.

From: [identity profile] cupcake-goth.livejournal.com


It looks like Sunday afternoon would work. How does around 2pm work for you?

(Oh, and I just measured all the jackets: 18" across the shoulders. I don't know if having that measurmeant is at all helpful to you, but thought I should let you know.)

From: [identity profile] cupcake-goth.livejournal.com


But of course!

(In fact, I kept looking at the cherry/wine wool jacket and thinking "Oooh, [livejournal.com profile] thedivas would look splendid in this!")

Oh, man, they ALL sound gorgeous . . .

. . . curse you, camera, for breaking down and needing to be replaced at this crucial moment!! X_x

However, if the wine-colored jacket isn't snapped up, I'll take it!!

*kisses*

-- A (intrigued by sparkly, but I just don't know if it'd fit, and it'll be too warm for Convergence, alas!)

I don't recall seeing these, but I'll take your word for it. Besides, the big white skirt is pretty and I'm sort of poor.

From: [identity profile] sparkymonster.livejournal.com


I would love the black satin riding jacket if it has not already been claimed. I'm not local, so you know shipping.

Re: *slurp*


Yes ma'am, it may be too big but I'd dearly like to find out and be proven wrong.

From: [identity profile] sirriamnis.livejournal.com


I could do 2. Can you email me your address, I know roughly where you live, having dropped Stax off at your place before, but I don't exactly trust my memory.

I'm interested in both riding jackets, but I seem to be far down the list...

From: [identity profile] cupcake-goth.livejournal.com

Re: *slurp*


Would you like to wander over to my house on Sunday, around 2-ish? That's what time [livejournal.com profile] sirriamnis is turning up to try things on.

From: [identity profile] cupcake-goth.livejournal.com


It's looking like Sunday around 2pm is a good time. Would that work for you?

From: [identity profile] webcowgirl.livejournal.com

Re: *slurp*


I will be out of town all of this weekend - does Monday at S&B work at all? Will you be there?

From: [identity profile] cupcake-goth.livejournal.com

Re: *slurp*


I don't know if I'll be there or not yet -- it all depends upon work. Hmmm. Let me think on this.

From: [identity profile] staxxy.livejournal.com


yet another reason to be angry with the man for hiring me and then selling the company a few weeks later. CURSES.

From: [identity profile] cupcake-goth.livejournal.com


::poke:: Are you still interested in the black jacket and the sparkly one? [livejournal.com profile] sirriamnis is passing on the sparkly one, due to my shoulders being smaller than hers.

From: [identity profile] cupcake-goth.livejournal.com

Re: *slurp*


Are you going to be well enough to be at S&B? I am planning on being there, although later than normal. If you're going to be there, I can make sure to bring the jacket.

From: [identity profile] webcowgirl.livejournal.com

Re: *slurp*


Am I sick? I didn't know I was sick *pats herself down*

I should be there until ten ... will that be late enough?

From: [identity profile] cupcake-goth.livejournal.com

Re: *slurp*


That should be fine; I'll probably be there around 8:30 or so.

I could have *sworn* I saw a post from you, lamenting that you were feeling unwell. Silly me.
