Hi there Isabella,
What a great idea-- those are indeed ephemeral and will disappear
into-- buyers wearing them, possibly <shudder>. So you are recording
the doomed before they go away forever. One can only hope the buyers
might be responsible collectors rather than consumer/wearers.
I will confess to disappointment when I clicked on one of the earlier
images to find Pinterest expects me to join it to see them. I'm so
tired of joining sites and logging in with "secure" passwords I could
scream, so I sadly did not join and get to see the lovelies up close.
I notice you let the sellers speak for themselves. Might you be adding
comments later on? Some sellers of these kinds of things are (to put
it kindly) rather ignorant of antique sewing techniques and styles ;)

Hello All!
I know some of you know of my blog but I'm sure there are some that
don't. I've been "collecting" images from auction sites like ebay
where vintage and antique clothing pop up but disappear after a
couple of months. I wanted to keep a record of the everyday
clothing. I've just posted my 1000th post to the blog. This one is
of a lovely uncut men's Rococo waistcoat that was up on ebay
recently. http://extantgowns.blogspot.com/2013/01/for-my-1000th-post-i-present.html
Feel free to take a look. I have the blog set up so it should be
easy to repost any items you happen to like to pinterest.
