Help needed...
Jan. 21st, 2010 02:09 pmI'm working on sorting through, deciding what to keep, what to sell, what to donate.
Here's the thing; I have some costumes, some bridal and formalwear gowns, coats and jackets and some other original clothing that no longer fits me that I want to sell. I want to get my Etsy shop up quickly and put these items up to sell. Some of them are honest-to-gods vintage (I made them that long ago; 20 years) and some of them are not but all of them were made by me. I have; renaissance costumes, wool jackets and coats, business wear, lace blouses, evening gowns, wedding gowns. Please note that these are designer, one of a kind originals and not stuff I'll be donating to a bargain basement.
I need to take pictures of them ON someone, because stuff like this doesn't sell from pics of clothing on hangers.
I need models who are approximately my height, 5'4" and the sizes I have been; anywhere from a size 10 to a size 16; some of them are meant to be worn with a corset, some are 'everyday' work sort of garments, if still silk and designer.
Problem is, I cannot afford to pay anyone for this. But what I CAN offer is, trade; credit on future garments or costumes, i.e. hours on account with a master designer and seamstress to be redeemed at a later time when my shop is fully set up again.
I will be taking the pictures, unless some wonderful local photographer wants to shoot under the same deal; trade of photography for future sewing.
It needs to be fairly soon; I have to sort and pack and hopefully, sell some of this stuff so I have money for the move. Money is very scary for me right now.
So if this is something that would interest you, please contact me and we'll talk out arrangements.
Posting this as "open" so it'll also go to FaceBook.
