I was at the thrift store, Salvation Army and looking for an outfit.&nbsp; Because I did not want to spend a lot of money and still be the unique UNW that I am.&nbsp; All I saw after a couple of hours was this red thing thrown over a rack in the back corner.</p> <p>I picked it up it had fringe EVERYWHERE.&nbsp; RED FRINGE I Put it on over my clothes.&nbsp; It was a perfect fit.&nbsp; I examined her, stain free (check) smell free (check), rip free (check).&nbsp; Zipper need to be repaired and button is missing.&nbsp; The back opens slightly down the back and it has a half zip in the back.&nbsp; I fell in love.&nbsp; It looks like a 1920s flapper dress. I am not sure it had no tag.&nbsp; I immediately took her to the dry cleaners for repairs and cleaning.&nbsp; She will be ready for the celebration and beyond.&nbsp; Dare I say that this Dress made me feel&nbsp; Pretty, and Girly.&nbsp; But,&nbsp; still like an UNW I really have some thinking to do on this.&nbsp; HMMMMMMMMM. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifters-thoughts#post-1244985 Wed, 07 May 2014 23:03:53 +0000 rachylou 1244985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And the world now cannot wait to meet her </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifters-thoughts#post-1244975 Wed, 07 May 2014 22:45:33 +0000 Lyn D. 1244975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Is she a handbag? Oh no- she would not crumple- can't wait for more details </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifters-thoughts#post-1244935 Wed, 07 May 2014 22:12:26 +0000 Ledonna N. 1244935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seeing her yesterday was like a breath of fresh air. Natural and easy, I did not have to search long and she was just sitting there waiting for me to come along. Someone had just thrown her to the side, left her crumpled in a corner. But, even from far away I could tell you I did not see her potential, I saw the beauty that is in her now. As my hands reached out to her she fell into my hands and I let out an audible sigh. At the beauty, history of who and what she is. It was a perfect fit and I wanted and want to know more about her. She has some bruises and scars, she needs some work but, to me she is perfect in her imperfectness. I cannot wait to introduce her to the world. </p>
