Thread: Don t hate me cause I am lucky

Tweet

Just thought I would show off my latest purchase. Its a wedding dress. Ill use it on Frankenstines bride or a headless bride prop. It is great because its a very small size, so it will fit my manniquin and it has a high neck and long sleeves. perfect!
so this is why you are going to hate me,... I bought it for $1.35!! and for fun Ill put up a pic of the other wedding dress I bought for $4 bucks. I will sell the nice one to hopefully have some extra cash for other halloween purchases, for example the haunters convention coming up in may. yaa hoo. okay I hope I can get the pics up.
okay so everyone knows I suck at putting up pics ,so Iam going to put another pic in my album. thanks for lookin around!

Daaang, I though I did nicely with $22 for a ratty dress! Very nice find, Halloweenbarb - a perfect Bride of Frankenstein gown.

Sweet deal! Can't beat $1.35 for anything!

there is a goodwill that sells stuff for $!.35 a pound, so thats how I get stuff cheap. I get all of my costume stuff there!

....wow....that's all I've gotta say.....wow.... amazing find!

Wow my love found on Ebay an 1800's or older... widows/morning dress with the hat that goes with it too. I'll try to get pictures if your interested. We thought of giving it to a museum.

Great score Halloweenbarb!

Reminds me though of a few years ago I was killing time while my Wife was sitting in her Dentist's chair brousing through a second hand store. As I was admiring a wedding dress I noticed this 4 foot tall elderly woman clerk there was sending acid through her eyes right at me, unblinking! Yes, she was a real person(although a manniquin like her would be priceless!)
I was not going to get that dress at any price!!! If she had anything to do with it.
I guess in that charity store the customer is NOT always right!? hahahaah!
The help was not quite "right" either!
Scary!!

Great score and perfect for what you are planning.

Those are great dresses! Can probably sell the second on eBay but try a consignment shop, too. There is one I'm eyeing at a local thrift, just hoping it will drop from $35! Nice and small? Apparently ALL brides around here are size 6!

I hope you donate that to a museum, intact clothes that are complete are hard to find.
