Homesteading: A Woman's Journey

Cape Dresses on Ebay

09:42, Tuesday, October 14, 2008 .. Posted in Sewing Room .. 3 comments .. Link

It is a bit strange to see the clothing style that you wear listed on Ebay under the heading of costumes.  How strange that plain, modest dress in today's world is considered to be a costume instead of a dress.  If you go to any large city's shopping mall and look around, you see people (especially the youth & young adults) wearing things that certainly look more like a Halloween costume than the plain style of a cape dress! 

Thankfully, I did find a dress to fit me.  It will be a nice one to help me out until I am able to get some made that will fit me better.  Currently, I only have 1 dress that fits me in a modest way.  I am selling the ones I have out-grown.  They are in gently used condition, but fit me a little too well if you know what I mean.  I'm only selling two at the moment. The other two will be sold later after I see how these ones go.  I have them on our family's website with a link to our Ebay listings. 

I am praying that since I listed them under the heading of "Women's Dresses" that they will go to another plain dressing woman and not be used as a costume.

My sister has had quite a bit of success in buying cape dresses through ebay. I don't think you will have any trouble selling them. :-)

Good morning.. I think why they have it under costume is because when you get a pattern that is how they list them.. I'm making one right now if your interested to know where I got the pattern PM me..

You are so right! It is really sad that something simple, and modest would be considered a costume...Well I guess I dress up in a costume every day :)
