busy week

Vivienne Tam had a good selection of items in sizes 0-10, I fit her 10 if the cut is generous or the fabric is stretchy otherwise they are a little small in the chest. There are plenty of full skirts so hips shouldn’t be an issue.

Previous seasons stock and samples are 80-95$ for dresses an excellent value if you chose a classic style. If your on a budget embellished t-shirts are 20$ and knits are 40$. This season is 120-180 depending on the dress.

They do provide mirrors but no dressing area, this is not a sale for the shy.
