BREIFLY ABOUT SHIPPING COSTS


The basic cost for shipping small packages from 0 to 500 g within Europe are 4,20€ and from 500g to one kilo 7,60€. Elsewhere in the world the cost is 8,80 and 15,95. If it goes over one kilo it's so expensive I don't want o write it out. But that's for priority mail.

For economy mail, which will take about twice as long (over 7 days to deliver) the princes are much nicer: within Europe € 3,45 / € 6,20 (<500g / <1000g), overseas 4,90 / 7,20. For parcels between one and two kilos the cost within Europe is 12€ and anywhere else 13,50. Then there will be €1,50 (dresses)/ 2,40 (shoes) added for proper packing!

Here's a link to the Finnish Post's price list: click, if someone want's to kill some time browsing through it or just laugh at strange Finnish words or so.

(Disclaimer: I have shamelessly borrowed the parcel pick somewhere from the internet.)

BLUE GINHAM SUMMER DRESS

Oh my. I really do like this dress but I haven't worn it for too long so here it goes. I think some of you may remember it from last year...



This is a comfy cotton dress that will make you feel like Alice in Wonderland or Dorothy from Oz :)The fabric is soft and stretchy. It's straps are adjustable and removable in the back, so you can choose to tie it halter-neck style, or fold them down, since the dress will stay up without straps. There is a ribbon at both sides of the waist that you can tie either int the front or the back of the dress. The back has elastic shirring for a good fit, and will stretch quite a lot to fit a fuller bust or broader back. It will fit someone slightly bigger than me but also look good on a smaller girl, due to the stretchy back and ribbons in the waist.

I have used this dress a couple of times after which I have washed it once, so it is in good condition.

Size M
Material : 97% cotton, 3% Elastane; machine washable

Total lenght : 85 cm (slightly longer in front than back)
Bust : 38 cm but can stretch to almost the double
Waist : 37
Hip : Free
(All measurments taken flat across garment)


Starting price : 8 €
Minimum bid : +1 €

This auction runs until Mon July 20th.
I will check the highest bidder (well, if there is one :) around noon. Remember I am in Helsinki which means EEST / GMT+3 (in summer, otherwise GMT+2).

SELLING PART OF MY CLOSET AWAY...

If you read my blog you may know that I every now and then might worry a little bit about the endless flow of things coming in and little to nothing coming out of my closet. So now I've decided to put a few things up here for sale. Not my best dresses, of course not, but neither those never-to-wear again things that have been stuffed in my "ebay bag" for years... I'm letting go of those things I've noticed that I don't wear enough, and it might hurt a little bit since I'm very bad at letting things go...

I'm not sure weather to just request a price on an item and see who's interested or weather to do it auction style. I'm trying out the bidding first and we'll see how it goes. If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know!

GREEN DOTTED DRESS

SOLD!

This is a dress i fought hard for on ebay last summer, only to find it was a liiiittle bit too snug for me around the shoulders, and a little bit too short for my taste. But it is cute as hell though, with covered buttons and ruffles in front. It comes with a belt/ribbon that you can tie around the waist or into a pussy bow around the neck. There is a green v-neck slip underneath (attached to dress at the shoulders but can be removed). The dress is light and flowing like viscose, the slip has a softer feel to it. It has a hidden zipper in the side.

This dress came to me new with tags, I have used it twice and now washed it for the first time.

Label: Atmosphere
Material : 100 % polyester, machine washable
Size: 36 / 8

Length from shoulder to hem: 86 cm
