"Nic has a strong suspicion that all her gorgeous (now too big) plus-size evening gowns she sold on eBay have gone, judging by the buyers' names, to drag queens!
Huzzah! And may those dresses continue to have fabulous lives!"
You heard me lament last year that I had outgrown, no... That I had ingrown... Ew, no. That I found myself unable to fill my wonderful concert gowns in a manner appropriate to their ample dimensions.
Thankfully I still had a couple of dresses that were of simple enough construction to let me take in the bodices, and nip in the waists so they didn't hang off my now smaller frame, but my more fitted dresses (currently a fashion oxymoron) were too complicated to alter, too marvellous to throw out, so finding them new owners was the course of action I chose to follow.
And they all went. I had five gowns listed, and they were all won by people with male-sounding names. Now I know not to presume, and that some potential winners don't use their own accounts when bidding online, so the chances were that not everyone that won was male, and if they were they may not have been bidding for themselves... Nevertheless I'd really like to think that those five dresses will be worn by amazing people who know much more about how to wear make-up than I do.
Viva le dive!
