discount fashion model

Hey D.I. ,
even though you smell rather nasty
and mark your junk up 500%...

sometimes you come through
(if one has the patience to look hard enough)
I found this little seersucker treasure on the nightgown rack.
Maybe I was looking for a mumu, maybe I found this instead.
Skinny white belt, grandma's shoes and ta-daaaaaaa!
I'm still looking for a mumu.

The big girl arms, cardi, shirt and shoes are mine.
The skirt is new (old), and a bit big.
Anyone know how to clean a thick polyester like that?
We're talking leisure suit quality.
Dryclean only?
I hate drycleaning...

what think you, oh masses of the internets?
worth my $9?

15 notes:

because of the pleats I'd take it in for dry cleaning, maybe just the first time. Dry cleaning shouldn't be more than a couple dollars for something like that and then you can spot treat it from here on out.

I go the EXACT coffee table of my dreams at that DI for $15.

I'm still riding that high.

I use Dryel to clean my husband's wool suits, so it would probably work with that skirt as well.
You hit the jackpot! I love the seersucker.
