First Listing!

Buy It Here

Finally! A new before after post and my first listing! Though nothing extravagant at all, the only alteration on this dress was a big chop off the bottom and a hemming. Amazing how different shortening a dress can change the whole look of an item.

I'm slowly (very slowly) learning my ways around Etsy and organizing all the vintage pieces I need to alter and sell. Every day I'm learning something new in the online vintage business and hope that I can get into the swing of things soon! Setting up the store is taking much more time than I expected. I want everything to be perfect and organized and of course that takes time, which I seem to lack nowadays thanks to my new full time real world career.

Thanks everyone for your comments, it really encourages me to get everything done as soon as possible and I appreciate the support! I hope avant apres fashion will eventually become a spot you regularly check out for your favorite vintage finds. :)

Now... back to work!

Ooh, ooh, ooh! I love how much of a difference that made. Amazing job, love. I think your Etsy is coming along splendidly - I can't wait to see what you do with the red button-up dress! xo
