1/17/09 a wonderful story from ebay id a_comedy_of_errors:
"I have got to tell you something. I had a meeting to go to yesterday. So, I wore this sweater over a white dress. It looked even better than I'd hoped.
I left my house and somehow fell on the concrete steps. I then fell right over the side and landed in dirt, a metal decorative piece that got knocked over and landed on, and concrete pavers. I thought I'd broken bones, the pain was so bad. But I'm only bruised and scraped up. It only hurts when I smile. lol
When I inspected the sweater, I was amazed to find nothing wrong with it, at all. It didn't tear or get ruined. How that can be, I do not know, but I was sad thinking I'd probably ruined it. Not at all, it's fine for all I can see.
I know you didn't make the sweater, but I thought you might enjoy hearing how it rolled down some concrete steps on a large body, fell into dirt, pavers and a metal decoration and came out of that unscathed.
Thanks for another great item. Will watch for more.

Hey Mary,
I have attached a pic of me wearing the crinkle jacket that I bought from you. The jacket was part of a dress set but I wore it with a burgundy colored top and a pair of black slacks to my 30th class reunion! I loved the set but I didn't want to wear the dress to the reunion. Everyone loved the jacket outfit! Thanks for the awesome plus sized clothing!
Thanks again, Tammy
PS: I am the blonde in the middle with two of my 'old' friends.

"hi Mary, sending pics of my sister and I at the Sydney Opera House in your flashy gear this month! I am the blonde.
We had a great time and the show was My Fair Lady sung and acted by the Opera Company and was really good. Lots of old favourite songs....
Took 2 of my granddaughters, Alyssa (9) and Olivia (7)
I am really enjoying my lovely fake fur and have had many compliments... it changes colour from greys to silvers and purples and mauves in the light and its so cozy! I'm glad I dared to buy it! My sister likes her cape very much and looks very smart in it. "

AT GOLDIESBOUTIQUE WE CARRY TWO MAIN BRANDS: SILHOUETTES AND ULLA POPKEN.
THESE BRANDS CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS EITHER NEW WITH TAGS, NEW WITHOUT TAGS, SAMPLES, CATALOG RETURNS, ETC.
ABOUT SAMPLES: If you are buying a sample, please read this.. Samples usually do not have brand, care or size tags, or any tags attached, but will be listed as new with tags, because they are brand new from the manufacturer. Also, please refer to the measurements I provide in the listings, as sizes can vary brand to brand. Samples can be any size and some fall between sizes so measurements are the way to go when deciding on fit. Some samples never make it into the actual clothing line, so in some cases you will be getting a one of a kind wearable piece of art. All famous brands buy their clothing from other manufacturers in far away places like India and China. :)
Returned items may have been tried on, washed and worn. I don't sell returns that are in poor condition.
For Ulla, many styles available are still current in the catalog.. I am so excited about this brand, the quality is incredible! I hope you visit my store and consider choosing Ulla Popken!
ABOUT OTHER ITEMS IN MY STORE~ Some of my items are consigned items from the best of the best right here in Louisville~ if you are in the Louisville area and need something consigned, I am happy to assist. They may be used, please check item description for that.
**** IMPORTANT ****
ABOUT SILHOUETTES~ Goldiesboutique sells only NEW Silhouettes merchandise, new in the package from the Silhouettes warehouse, unlike many other sellers, I only sell NEW!!! That means you have no worries about flaws, shrinkage, pet hair, etc. It's like ordering from the catalog but WAY cheaper!! PLEASE NOTE: ALL SILHOUETTES ARE LISTED AS **NEW WITH TAGS** BUT IF YOU ORDER FROM THE CATALOG YOU KNOW MOST ITEMS AREN'T TAGGED, THEY ARE JUST POLY BAGGED. I HAVE LISTED THEM AS NEW WITH TAGS BECAUSE THEY ARE NEW. IF YOU ARE AVERSE TO THIS FACT, DO NOT BID, THANKS!
ABOUT ULLA POPKEN~ we sell their overstocks, catalog returns and samples. What you receive will fall in one of those categories, which I will specify in the auction. If you are averse to the fact that it could be a sample or return, please ask before bidding.
Overstocks are brand in the plastic bag, never worn, or sold before.
~*~PLEASE BE SURE AND READ ABOUT THE RETURN/EXCHANGE POLICY BEFORE BIDDING~*~
ABOUT RETURNS: Try as I may, I cannot please everyone. On the rare occasion that an exchange is made, due to a listing error, I will give store credits/exchanges only, this means that I will allow you to exchange the unwanted item for something else in my store. When sending an exchange, please use delivery confirmation to ensure it's safe return, thank you! Shipping to and from when making the exchange is your responsiblity. This means you must pay for the shipping costs to and from for all items exchanged. I provide measurements, so there will be no returns due to fit. I take a lot of time to take nice detailed pictures, different monitors show colors differently. If you are unsure of the exact color, just ask. I DO NOT take exchanges because you don't like the color, buyers remorse, fit, etc. If the post office doesn't deliver on time, again this is not my fault. I cannot take something back due to the item not being delivered on a particular date. This is the responsiblity of the post office to guarantee shipping as promised. I work very hard to bring you fantastic bargains at a percentage of the original price, and as such, I can't spend a lot of time sending and receiving merchandise because the color or size is wrong on you, especially when it is included in the description, thanks so very much for understanding! I appreciate your business. Please note, your bid to purchase items is a legally binding contract, and would be upheld in a court of law, by bidding on the items, you are agreeing to my terms, including the return/exchange policy. Thanks so much!
ABOUT SHIPPING: Shipping is the cost of the highest priced shipping of one item, plus $3 for each additional item. To get the savings on shipping, you must make only one payment through paypal. If you need a combined invoice, just ask! :) I ship daily and offer fair shipping prices. All domestic items receive delivery confirmation at no cost to you.
*UPDATE* as of May 14th, the US Postal Service raised shipped rates AND surface mail is NO LONGER available to international destinations. Please ask if you are unsure about your shipping rate, I don't charge a high handling fee, just a very small one, shipping rates have gone up, I can't control it and I'm sorry- I wish I could, I'm not happy either.
FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS- I am happy to accommodate you, your shipping rate will vary country to country. If you are unsure, feel free to ask before bidding, thanks! :)
FOR ALL MULTIPLE TRANSACTIONS: I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING FOR ALL ITEMS WON IN A 5 DAY PERIOD. JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO SHOP, I AM HAPPY TO HAVE YOU AT MY STORE!
ABOUT GIFT WITH PURCHASES: Sometimes as a way to boost sales and invite new customers, I offer a gift with purchase sale- where if you buy a certain amount of goods a free gift is given. These are one per customer please, and while supplies last. Thanks so much for your business!!
ABOUT CONTACTING ME: Please use the ebay messenging system, it's the only way to ensure that I will get your message as my email has a heavy spam filter on it and many messages don't make it through. Also, we get approximately 1000 emails a week, the only way to make sure we can help you right away, is to ask that you email us through the ebay messages only, please if you would. Thanks :)
Just a little aside about ebay~ I love ebaying, buying and selling. I want all transactions to be mutually positive- let me know if there's anything you need! When you trade with me, you are guaranteed the best in customer service, fast shipping, prompt communication and a quality product at a great price! Thanks for shopping at Goldiesboutique.
If you are new to ebay and are unsure of how this all works, feel free to email me, I am happy to help you get started on your journey through the ebay universe.
~AND LASTLY~
~~~BE GRATEFUL, BE JOYFUL, BE LOVING, YOU CO-CREATE YOUR EXPERIENCE EVERY DAY AND IN EVERY SITUATION!~~~
Dreams do come true, if you work hard, have a goal and a clear plan to make it there!!
