Does anyone here have experience over-dying? I have a pair of black jeans with a white weft that I wanted to over-dye, and now I see that there is a small bleach spot on them as well ... will over-dyeing cover it?


its likely it will but i would neutralize the bleach stain first ... that stuff is so bad for garments and then spot dye the bleach stain to see if it works first. but thats just me.

Yeah, the plan is to neutralize it with alcohol, cover it with some kind of marker (fabric or otherwise) and then overdye the whole garment.

anyone know any wooyoungmi stockists? I know there's a store in chelsea that carries the line, I walked in there bored on a lunch break one day over the summer and was excited to see it for the first time. Forget the name of the though...

Reading this always irritates me for some reason..
"I'm just trying to get back what I paid."


Maybe, if you bought it several seasons ago or something. I don't see anything wrong, though, with stating you're trying to recoup your funds on a recent purchase that didn't work out, especially if you bought it from the B&S forum.

Agreed. I think it emphasizes that the seller isn't trying to flip something for a profit, and an item should ostensibly retain its value as it passes through an additional set of hands provided its condition doesn't deteriorate (e.g., buyer receives item, tries it on, realizes it doesn't fit, posts on B&S).

Also, @ Unc, those boots look difficult. Like, pony hair DBSS hi-tops-level difficult.

What annoys me is when they say that, and what they mean is that they're gonna stack shipping and fees on top of what they paid, making their net loss absolutely zero. I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be willing to eat a few bucks to try something out. And if this was the norm then the price would go up every time the item changes hands.
Still not as annoying as selling something and seeing it relisted later for twice as much :cloud:

has anyone ever bought from gilt taste? I was bored and checking it out earlier.. and jesus the prices are really, really, really high. Why would I pay $200 for 2 lbs of steak... when I could go to a steakhouse and buy an equivalent cut of meat with a meal and wine cheaper?
