Random shallow fashion craving

[cupcake_goth]

But first, thank you mimi_monsterr and arlis for the LJ gifties!

I am craving an ivory/white ruffled blouse. Specifically, a "poet" or "pirate" blouse, with a high collar. Why can't I find any in my size? I'm talking ones like this (clicky-link!) (which I would snap up in a second if it was in my size), or this one (clicky-link!) (which again, a smidge too small for my bust). I want at least 3/4 sleeves and flowing, drapey Ruffles Of Doom, dammit. (Which is why this blouse (clicky-link!) isn't quite right.

Remember when you would find oodles of these sorts of blouses in every thrift store? Not any more, hmmph. This is vexing me. I need one to wear with riding jackets and long velvet waistcoats!

Talk to kambriel? :)

(And, man, I loved those shirts. I had one in burgundy silk and it was AMAZING.)

These can be made, fairly easily. Or, you can add circular ruffles to an existing shirt.

I still have the cream silk one you gave me, but I rarely wear it. Would you like it back?

actually, nevermind. I am looking at it now, and it is no where near as ruffly as you are looking for. herm.

This does, however, sounds like a job for SUPER BLUEJAY

Pickers for vintage shops and ebay nab them at thrift stores so they don't last long on the racks.
