is there a thread on ils for secondhand shopping?

If not there should be. I suck at thrifting. In fact, I haven't actually really done it since HS when I was all about going to church thrift shops for hideous printed polyester button down shirts. I am extremely intimidated by them now mostly because it seems like you have to wade through aisles of craps to find the gems and I don't have a lot of patience for that. Anyway, if there isn't then you should start one.

One hundred percent of that dress is a Victorian little girl's day dress remade for adult women. The infantilization is amazing.

i thought we talked about pettipants on this thread but couldn't find it ANYWAY i bought a pair and they are the best - way better than the bloomers i had, which were too bulky under a lot of my dresses (and too short) and way better than a regular petticoat/slip bc there is virtually no way to flash anyone, anything, accidentally or even on purpose (if that's your thing)
and i really want this for winter:http://img.eshakti.com/clothImages/CL0023006P.jpg

i'm sure its been discussed itt but what the fuck is up with every dress/skirt suddenly having that cut where its 2 feet longer in the back?

YES! I saw tons of them at a music festival recently
Especially those sheer tunic-style dresses? All with the short at the front and long in the back

Mullet dress does not feel princessy to me either. Confusing!

that is to say that nothing about mullet dress screams "princess" to me -- it's more like "modest/flashy" (or "flashy/modest" depending on which direction you're walking i guess)

LL is more on my princess vibe. Or ball gowns, because I was brainwashed by Disney.

My mother still has her midnight blue velvet and lace medieval-style Jessica McClintock dress from the ACTUAL '70S Y'ALL, and it's one of the ones in Jesse's poster.

That dress was the definition of a princess to me forever and ever, along with this illustration from a children's book:

If you see a person who looks like that, you know she is a princess.
