Something to Swap Thread

My hubby belongs to a bushcraft forum (you know, Ray Mears-type stuff) and they have a thread where they swap stuff with each other.  I thought if it's doable here that it would be a good idea.  Mods, do you think it's a good idea?

So here's what I have to swap:  A Vivien of Holloway dress, size 12.  V of H sizes are a bit on the small side.  If you are a true size 12 it will be quite tight in the waist, but with the proper 'big pants' underneath it will work (this is what I did).  It may be a tiny bit big in the bust if you are a B cup or smaller.

I've worn it only once.

If anyone has maybe some article of clothing to swap, post a pic and then I'll pm you if I'd like to swap. 

I'd swap something with you, Andee - but that dress, lovely as it is, is far too small for me, lol!

Hope someone else is interested though!

I will swap it if I can try it on - I think I need to go through my clothes and see what I want to recycle. 

Let me know if you feel you can hang on.

I can hang on.  When we get together, I'll bring it so you can try it on.

OK, sounds good - just don't have anything to swap yet.

I LOVE the Vivien of Holloway dresses!  I haven't actually bought one yet, but that is probably my favorite websites for window shopping   Hope you guys manage to swap

That is a gorgeous dress, and my size, but I don't know if I would ever have an occasion to wear it!

Gorgeous dress but it would not fit me. Hope it finds a good home soon!

I'll play! I have a full length red Eliza and Ethan dress as seen here:

I bought it on ebay and it's an amazing dress but this shade of red does not suit me at all. Happy to swap or sell outright for £25 (which is what I paid for it). It comes with a matching bandeau which adds additional coverage for ladies with more to cover.

I can hold out a while.

I decided the 50s look just isn't me.  40's maybe, 30's yes, but not the 50's.  It's an amazing looking dress and a gorgeous print for those who can carry off that look!

I got it for a wedding and thought it would do as a harp performance dress as well, but too tight around the ribcage to sit and play comfortably.

I have a black one like this. It's my holiday dress.  I am tempted, but not too sure red is for me, either. But I can vouch for the handiness of these dresses.  Hope it finds an owner. 

You might want to try this one if you need a sized dress:

Fab! I am worried I might have more than ribcage issues.  And not gone through the wardrobe yet.

That one looks nice too! The size is not an issue with this dress but the colour. When I bought it, the seller described it as a dark red. I can wear some dark reds, but unfortunately with my red hair and freckles, this one is not for me. Oh well! If no one here wants it, I'll just re-ebay it.

Ah, OK.  'One-sized' does not seem to work for me! 

Good luck!

It will definitely fit you better in the boob area than it does me.  I have another dress, by the way that you can just have, if you like it.  It's 50s -ish but less structured and softer and it is white red and black.  I'll bring it along when I next see you.

That sounds lovely and very generous of you! Looking forward to seeing you! 

Seems an age.  Again.

I've got a sewing machine I'd like to swap for small kitchen electrics- a mixer/food processor or blender type thing.  It's a Toyota machine I picked up off of gumtree and has lots of stitches.  I don't know much else about it but can email the manual if anyone would like to have a look.  Seems to work fine I ended up being given a machine a few days after I bought this one (that's what I don't know much about it:)
