French Chic in Goodwill?

I search and search, daily almost, for that one piece of clothing that will give me a slight rush. I peak  at the end of the rack I'm currently searching and spy a beautiful ruby red garment. I can see from several feet away that that piece is special.


I know it's there, but I've committed to scanning each item on this rack, and admit that I like to prolong that little rush I know will take over me as I pick up that red beauty. So, I stay where I am and keep that number in the corner of my eye. I find a beautiful silk floral Banana Republic frock and a classy chic Calvin Klein powder blue shirt dress along the way. And then I'm there. 


From experience, I know a designer item can be spotted from a mile away. The structured design, expensive material and interesting print make a dress by Diane von Furstenberg, for example, stick out like a sore thumb amidst the polyester of cheaper brands. No offense. 


So as I sweep this silk 'Feather' off the rack and into my cart (I'm in the zone, there is no stopping me now! I'll examine closely later) I quickly eye the brand. Moulinette Soeurs.


Part of running a successful Ebay store is knowing your brands and selling them accurately. In other words, ensuring the item is not a fake. Anthropologie has been a hot keyword on Ebay for quite some time, and sellers have discovered that simply adding the name Anthropologie to their listing will drive buyers into their stores. Unfortunately, the item for sale may not in fact be from an Anthropologie store.


I've spent hours on the Anthropologie website compiling a list of brands currently sold in stores. This master list has been revised so many times that it's become a file in my brain. So, I know from accessing my brain file, that Moulinette Soeurs is an Anthropologie regular.


Score! 

Gorgeous Ruffled Neckline

So let's discuss this beauty in more detail, shall we? First off, it's a size 14. Sleeveless, scoop neck front and back. A delicate ruffle accents the bust. The waist is accentuated by a thin ribbon detail. It's delicate, feminine and rich. Stunning ruby red silk. It is, simply put, French Chic discarded un-lovingly to a Goodwill. Luckily, I can give it a good home. Click here to see the listing.


I paid a whopping $5.89. It's average selling price is $60.99 on Ebay.
