| Zoe's first sale! Hi all! I have gone through all of Zoë's things and have decided there are some things we should let go. Most of these items are things that Zoe either outgrew or that were always too big for her. I have never sold anything online, so please bear with me as I try this out for the first time! That said, I will be using Paypal or checks only! I will add on actual cost of shipping and whatever paypal fees there are. Everything I'm selling except for one item is under $10! We have winter wear, summer wear, and a few miscellaneous items that need new homes! These items can be found here: Zoe's For Sale Things! If you have any questions please feel free to ask them! Don't hesitate to contact me! I'll try to go by order of response, either PM or reply. There is one special item for sale and I hope someone here loves it and actually wants it. This would be for someone that has a little princess and wants her to look as adorable and special as she is! Though I'm a beginner dog dress maker I was commissioned to make a dress for a dog to be in a wedding. The customer never picked it up or paid me. I think it turned out simply wonderful, I'm extremely proud of it. Unfortunately it's just a bit too big to fit Zoe, so it needs a home! I need to sell it, if nothing else than to try to recoup the costs of the supplies I had to purchase. I know I'm not an expert dress maker, certainly not compared to the amazing talent here on YT. I hate asking so much for something I made but I am trying to get at least what I paid for in materials. This custom made evening wear dress is approximately 11" long and 13.5"-16.5" wide (it has adjustable velcro along the waist and the neck). I am asking $32 for the dress. A few notes on the details: the bodice has a stitched pattern in addition to clear/sparkly sequins that pick up the other colors of the dress; the skirt is made of a baby pink with 6 layers of sparkly tulle that have been arranged to give it that crinkled look; the edging of the skirt was done with a special stitch on my sewing machine that gives it a polished look that still gives it a bit of style; the bow has been sewn in place along the edge of the shirt, it has wire in the edging that allow it to be adjusted. I spent countless hours making this dress, from designing a pattern, hand sewing each tulle layer on, hand sewing the ribbon on, and trying to make a simply stunning dress. Thanks for looking!!!!

| I would like #11 (pink jogging suit) - my zip code for calculating postage is 30161. Just a hint - if the item weighs less than 13 ounces you can send it USPS first class mail a lot cheaper. Thank you!!!!! |

| Hi everyone! Well the excitement of Zoe's first sale is still running high! The pink jogging suit, the rubber ducky robe, and the pink and purple sweaters are all pending. Everything else is still available! P.S. I am willing to take offers on the formal dress, I know $32 is a lot so I'm willing to take offers if someone is interested in it for less!

YT 500 Club Member | I just wanted to say that you did a great job on the dress! I've started making dresses, too, and I know how long it can take from start to finish. I hope you are able to sell it soon!
