Plus-size clothing giveaway (mostly!)
I am doing some closet clearing, and since I know plus-size clothing is hard to find, I figured I would offer up this stuff on the web. For most of these items I will only charge shipping. I will be only shipping in the US with flat-rate boxes (small, $5.95, probably good for like, one shirt; medium, $12.65, could fit I'm guessing 3-4 garments; large, $17.90, not sure maybe up to like 7) so we'll figure out how much it will cost you based on how many items you want.
Comments are screened so you can leave an email address/shipping address. Let me know what you're interested in or any questions you have. Deadline to claim stuff is 11:59PM on Thursday, June 25th, 2015, as I am totally taking the rest to Goodwill the next day.
I'm going to include as much sizing info as I can from the garments, but for reference the sewing mannequin is set to a waist of 40", hips at 45", and given one of my bras so her widest-bust measurement is 51". It's not ideal--I would have made her more plus-size if she expanded more--but so you know what you're looking at in the photos below.
Here's the mannequin before clothes!
By the way, I'm making all the pics links, so you can click to embiggen.
1. Red Dress with Kerchief Collar - sorry, no tags on this one. Feels like natural fiber, probably cotton?
2. Long-sleeve Plum Dress. Ulla Popken size 24/26. One of the decorative buttons is missing, sorry.
3. Navy Pattern Long-Sleeve Dress. Ulla Popken 24/26.
claimed!
Two colors of this dress:
4. White/Blue/Purple stripe sleeveless dress
5. White/Pink/Yellow stripe sleeveless dress
Nota bene, these have POCKETS.
Woman Within, size 1X.
6. Orange sequin top. Fashion Bug size 2X.
7. National Arboretum T-Shirt, size X-Large
8. Teal Pattern Tunic. Woman Within, size 3X
FYI, this one is translucent--definitely needs an undershirt. claimed!
9. Tie-Dye Spiral T-Shirt, size XL. claimed!
10. "This Zeitgeist Sucks" T-shirt, size 2XL. claimed!
11. Lime Green V-Neck T-Shirt
12. Purple V-Neck T-shirt
No tags, but these are oversize/tunic-length cotton T-shirts. claimed!
13. Pink Artichoke T-shirt, League size XL
So here's the thing, League sizes are TINY! I mean, I know this is a "fitted" shirt, it's honestly like a large in more typical women's T-shirt sizing. I had to take the mannequin's boobs off for this, her bust measurement is 43" here.
But Artie the Artichoke is a beloved school mascot (of Scottsdale Community College) that people from all over the country collect (why do people want weird school mascot shirts for schools they've never been to? heck if I know), and this classic design of him is no longer produced, so technically this is like, a totally cool score!
14. Lavender Sweater-Shirt. Sorry, no tags. It's always been a wash-cold/line-dry shirt for me, best guess cotton on the material.
15. Teal Stripe Hand-Knit Skirt. Okay, this is the ONE item that I would like to ask for more than shipping cost on, because I personally knit it myself, I put many long hours of knitting and broke a couple of circs on it. I made it for myself, but it no longer fit me, which is terrible! So I am letting it go, but I'm putting a price tag of $40 on it. It's acrylic, so you can machine wash and dry it no problem, it's thick yarn/winter weight. It has an elastic waistband, 46" unstretched, can stretch to up to 60".
