...OK, a local flea market is an excellent resource.<br /><br />And I've bought a couple of pairs of vintage shoes online in the past (and a number of pairs at vintage shops, where I had the benefit of trying them on first). The online experience is tricky, I totally agree. But you know I buy bras online too - so I'm a bit crazy when it comes to what I'll chance.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-65804938729364179612012-08-27T10:23:25.323-04:002012-08-27T10:23:25.323-04:00Thanks Suzy!

I don't really think they work on my body shape though so I probably won't be going there (they require a slim fitting bottom half, and I don't like things that cling to my thighs..). But yay, I can live vicariously through you! <br />It's such a pretty pattern. I'm looking forward to your discoveries with it :)<br /><br />I don't like online shopping for clothes because I don't trust things to fit (and returns are a huge hassle). But mainly, most shipping rates to New Zealand are really expensive :(<br />I also have a problem with Etsy because they claim to be all about handmade/vintage, but they have tonnes and tonnes of resellers of mass produced items (and these people pretend their goods are handmade too). It's pretty bad, and Etsy don't do anything about it because they make money from it. Sigh, world, why you gotta be so corrupt?<br /><br />Oops I wrote a lot! <br />Umm as for self-lining, I would think it would depend on your fabric choice!Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719917783641156738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-59478232728067999642012-08-23T17:52:38.739-04:002012-08-23T17:52:38.739-04:00That pattern looks very promising!!!!

I've been drawn to a few of the designs, but have held off buying them because of it.<br /><br />I love Etsy.

Currently, I'm looking for a cute enameled belt buckle for an elastic type belt.
