Vtg 90s Grunge Crushed Velvet Festival Mini-Dress!




Maxine heads off to a grunge music revival in her gorgeous emerald green crushed velvet mini-dress by Styles to Go!

This dress features large buttons on the collar - you can wear it all buttoned up, or unbutton it (see pics) for a more casual look. It's got kind of a goth vibe, depending on how you choose to accessorize it - I think it would look cute with black tights and boots, huh? Adding a hat or a belt would look great, too!

It's marked a size medium (I think it could fit a large), but please refer to the meas. below to ensure a proper fit:

Shoulder: 18"
Bust: 20" (double)
Waist: 18.5" (double)
Hip: 20" (double)
Sleeve: 21.5"
Length: 35" shoulder to hem

Price:  A mere $19.99, plus $5.00 US shipping; $13.95 international shipping.

Don't let this beauty get away!

New Ear Bandit Items Now Available!

I've been busy creating some new items that will soon be available on earbandit.net, as well as my Etsy site!  Here's a cute 80-page lined notebook, featuring the one and only Ear Bandit, fluttering his way into your heart - he's perfect for stashing away in your purse, and look how well he coordinates with the matching Ear Bandit pens!



I've also created another Ear Bandit t-shirt!

And here is my personal favorite - this is an Ear Bandit window decal - he attaches from the inside of your window, and this decal can be removed and replaced over and over again, when you feel like moving him from your rear window in the car to your kitchen window (which is what I intend to do...these guys just flutter in when you least expect it!)  Enjoy!

Vtg 80s UGLY Neon Picasso Jacket - M-XL






Oh my goodness...have you ever seen anything quite so 80s kraptastic in your life??

Maxine is, like, totally speechless. She's sporting a rare 80s treasure here - it's a silky Picasso print jacket, done in great 80s neon colors, complete with batwing sleeves and shoulderpads. It's got no size or fabric tags - I'm fairly sure it's a poly blend, and it's machine washable (I've laundered it!) It zips up the front and has front pockets. There are a couple of jackets on Etsy similar to this one, but I'm the only shop that has it available in NEON!

Based on the measurements, I think this jacket could easily fit anyone from a medium to plus size, but please refer to meas. below to ensure a proper fit:

Shoulder: 21"
Bust: 24" (double)
Sleeve: 23"
Length: 25.5" shoulder to hem

Price:  $19.99 plus $5.00 US shipping; $13.95 for international shipping.

Please, PLEASE give this jacket a loving home, won't you??

Vtg Bubblegum Pink Grecian Goddess Wraparound Nightgown w/Gold Trim - M to XL




Maxine is definitely looking every bit the Grecian goddess today in her lovely, sweeping vintage nightgown!

The nightgown is extremely unique because it's a wraparound style - what you do is put your right arm in the sleeveless hole, your left arm in the long sleeve, wrap around, and button on the right shoulder. It's extremely flattering for all bodies, and the material flows beautifully!

No brand label (I'm suspecting it's Gilead, but don't quote me!) and it's100% nylon. It's a bubblegum pink color, and features gold brocade trim all the way down the front, and on the sleeves. Some of the stitching around the neckline could use repair, but doesn't affect the wear or the beauty of this garment.

Shoulder: 18"
Bust: Open
Waist: Open
Hip: Open
Sleeve: 19.5"
Length: 53" shoulder to hem

Although I send my items out clean, please be aware that they could have been previously exposed to pet dander, perfume, smoke, etc. in case you have senstive allergies.
