For the Larger Beautiful Woman

[Kica Mandalay]

About 4-1/2 years ago I had a second stroke, and prior and after that lots of problems with medication, rehab, etc. It played havoc with my body and my mind. I'm better now (most folks would never know I'd had one, let alone two strokes, or that my memory and hearing are fried).

BUT, I needed clothes at the time. Only I was so horribly sick, I rarely ventured out except for doctor appointments or the occasional ceremony I was required to attend. SO I have a closet of unworn clothes in sizes 1X-3X, many worn only once or not at all.

I wanted you, my wonderful supportive Alley friends, to get first dibs on these items before I let the ebay world see them.

FIRST ITEM:
Susan Graver Embroidered and beaded/sequined western shirt jacket, size 1X. Black, 100% cotton, 2 front pockets, embroidery on front and lots of it on back of shirt. Button front/cuff are simulated mother-of-pearl with silver borders. Sequins on flowers and leaves; beading on pocket flaps, collar, around and throughout embroidery. MEASUREMENTS: Bust/Waist 51", Hips 52", bottom side-slit of 4"; Length: approx 28". Excellent condition without tags. Asking $30 plus shipping.

ITEM IS NOW LISTED ON EBAY. THANKS FOR THE EMAILS AND Love -- I SURE APPRECIATE THEM! :kiss

RED BEADED/SOUTACHE LINED JACKET 22W (Valerie Stevens). This is one of my favorite jackets and has only been worn for a few hours for an awards ceremony over a black gown. The collar is completely covered in beadwork and soutach. It's gorgeous to look at! Plus, it's completely removable so that you can wear this jacket for work without all the fancy trim. Closes with two raised fabric buttons. Completely lined in acetate/nylon; shoulder pads; jacket made of 70% rayon/30% poly. This is a blue-based red (a rich ruby-red color). Bust 52", Waist 48", Hips 53", Length 32". Asking $35 plus shipping.

Oh, Kica!! COngrats on being able to sell your clothes!!!!! Good luck to you!

After meeting you just a few short weeks ago, I would have NEVER guessed you went through such a hardship. Thank God for a healing hand!

WOMAN'S BLACK CORSET - size 44. This gorgeous corset does NOT have ties in the back, but instead is boned throughout. Hooks and zipper in front, 4 garters, and label reads Lady Marlene 44B. It is a VERY generous fit. I purchased it when I was much larger than a 44, but never had a chance to wear it. New without tags, asking $20 plus shipping.

The corset has a buyer right now. Thanks all! :ty

NEW CURLY WIG - NEW AND UNWORN WITH TAGS! This gorgeous wig was purchased for my clothing store mannequins (which are in storage). I hate bald mannequins, and I over-spent on their hair. I don't look particularly good in black hair, so I never wore it.

This wig is from PARIS TRESS - Style P3993, Name is VANESSA and color is #1. Included is 6 photos of different styling ideas for this wig, washing and care instructions, and warranty card. The wig can be further adjusted for a better fit to your head size via inside rear tabs. I won't horrify you by the price I paid for this at a wig store. I'm asking $35 plus shipping.

DIALOGUE (QVC) LINEN/COTTON FULLY LINED BLAZER, 18W. This pretty blazer is from QVC and has a floral pattern of dark and light blue with a light blue lining (fully lined, including sleeves). It's made of 55% linen/45% cotton with 100% poly lining that is totally washable. Front pockets and I believe princess seaming on the front. Since my office at work was usually between 82 and 85 degrees, I rarely wore a jacket over my outfits. Jacket is new without tags. Bust/waist 49", Hips 50", Length 27". Asking $15 plus shipping.
