Christmas Dresses for Sale

First off let me say how strange I feel doing this but I figure maybe I can make a little bit of money to feed my habit --haha!! Please don't be offended if you think it is inappropriate to be selling things on my blog-- I promise I wont make a habit of it-- just for special things like Christmas.


Also, don't forget to scroll down to see the Disneyland pictures from yesterday. Some pics are cute!!


I have 4 Strasberg Holiday dresses for sale. Strasberg is a high end Children’s Clothing store and their items are amazingly beautiful, very traditional and very expensive and well made. Strasburg has European sizing which is much bigger than US sizing. A 6 month in European sizing is aprox a 12- 18 month in US sizing (if not bigger).


This dress is 100% silk Christmas dress with a smocked top (all handmade) in a beautiful silk Christmas plaid. This dress is a high end treasure. It was worn once by my Mia for a family Christmas pictures and is absolutely perfect. It has an inside liner dress as well. I bought this dress for $124.00 (I know my Kevin had a heart attack as well :), it was worn once and I will sell it for $30 (plus shipping) but I am pretty firm on this price because it is such an amazingly beautiful, well made and unused dress.

SOLD




This dress is a fall plaid in a cotton fabric. It was worn once for Thanksgiving-- very beautiful plaid with a smocked neckline (all hand done). It is about a 12-18 month in size. I paid $65 for this- will sell for $20 (plus shipping). It looks adorable on little girls!!
SOLD







This next dress is a red and white holiday/ but also non holiday-- could be used for anything-- very versatile/ Strasberg dress. It has a red herringbone bodice and a crisp white Peter Pan collar and arm holes. It is beautiful and sooo well made. It has an inside liner dress as well. This dress was worn one time during the holidays to church by Mia. It is about a 12 to 18 months but is very long so easily could be worn by a 2 year old. It is perfect as all the dresses are. I paid $65 and will sell it for $20 (plus shipping).

SOLD





This dress is a green velvet dress with a peter pan collar with embroidered flowers on the collar. It has a Christmas plaid ribbon type sash around the middle. It is very beautiful and was worn only once on Christmas Eve by my Mia. It is about a size 12- 18 month but could easily be worn by a 2 year old-- they run really big. It has an inside liner dress as well. My mom paid $85 for this velvet dress- will sell it for $25 (plus shipping).








So there you have it. I have more I could sell but I will wait to see how these do. I have a paypal account so you can pay me that way if you are interested. If you are interested email me at kcbock@hotmail.com and the first on each dress will get that dress.
Thanks tons guys!!

  3. I don't think it is tacky at all to sell some clothes! In fact, recently, I have seen several people create "extra" blogs just for that. Why not? ebay charges fees & you never know if you will sell them or not.

    I wish I had a baby for them! They are GREAT prices!
