Seriously? Still tired, still wishing I could set people on fire with the power of my mind. Not everyone, mind you. Just a few, specific people. That's not too much to ask for, I swear.



Tomorrow I am going to wear my new favorite long brocade frock coat, which I have now changed the buttons on. Did you folks know about The Black Broom? If so, why didn't you tell me?! Pewter buttons with Vlad the Impaler! Or Elizabeth Bathory! So now my black brocade frock coat has Vlad buttons, and I'm going to order some Elizabeth Bathory buttons to put on another jacket. Oh wait, I didn't tell you folks about this ridiculous idea, did I?

So I have a long ivory silk frock coat from J. Peterman, from back when they had an actual physical store here in Seattle. (I got the frock coat for something like 90% off during the clearance sale. Listen, you can almost hear [livejournal.com profile] icprncs grinding her teeth in envy. ::grin::) Anyway, I've worn it maybe three times since I lucked into it. It's a wonderful jacket, it's just not something I throw on all the time.

But. My ridiculous idea is to get a bunch of deep ruby red seed beads and add little glittering drops and streaks of "blood" to it. On the lapels, the cuffs, along the hem, and then swap the buttons for the Elizabeth Bathory ones. Hi, stamp my cliche card now, please. If you can find a blank spot on it, that is.
Hi LJ hivemind!

I am looking for a white/ivory/cream colored lace jacket or blazer. Unlined (tho' if need be, I could remove the lining from one.) I had one on order from Newport News, but after a couple of rounds of spectacularly bad customer service, I canceled my order with them. (Seriously, if you never sent me a confirmation email, your "contact customer service!" page resolves to an error page every time I try to submit my question, and I spend over an hour on hold for two separate calls? I'm not giving you my money.)

Anyway, I want an unlined lace blazer or jacket, in white, ivory, or cream, size 12/14. Preferably hip-length or longer, with a classic blazer-style notched or shawl collar. And of course, as inexpensive as possible. Help me find one?

(If any of you happen to have such a thing languishing in your closet and it needs a new home, please tell me!)
