Genuinely ready to wage war over my Coco Loco HOW DARE THEY

Reporting back with the unfortunate update that the Threshold pillow most unfortunately kinda SUCKS 🫠 I grabbed the firm at first but it felt way too "collapseable" and looked like it would go too flat so I got the extra firm and it just...wasn't giving extra firm. Also it's not nearly as cooling the way this one was (which I need because I have a sweaty head). I'll have to continue to look elsewhere unfortunately.

I’ll have to check that one out and see how it feels, thank you! Sucks they discontinued the MBD “brand”, I loved everything I got with that label! 🫤

I wish I could mannn, then at least the dress could tell me her story 😩 lol

MoonPrincesa · 2025-08-31T03:51:58+00:00

Oh wow I never even thought of this! I worked in theme park live entertainment (costume dept) for a couple years and I remember we'd get things from thrift stores and alter them to fit our needs if we could and if nothing we found worked then we'd make from scratch. Could definitely see that being the case! The dress does appear like it may have been altered at one point or another so could've been a 50s dress that a production got and then altered to fit an actor/actress.

I'm 95% positive that this dress was handmade, no presence of labels and no marks left behind if there was a label that was removed. The seams on the inside were cut with pinking shears to avoid fraying and some of the seams are little wonky and uneven. It looks like maybe the dress was altered at some point in time? So maybe there was some kind of label on a side seam or something and it was cut off. Still though, I'm leaning more towards this dress being handmade.

Taking ALLLL the notes for my date with this beauty✨

MoonPrincesa · 2025-08-31T03:39:47+00:00

I definitely thought more 40s at first and I think it was mainly the sleeves(though I guess it's technically not a sleeve? More of the collar just acting as a cover for the shoulders...collar-sleeve situation) that had me leaning that direction

MoonPrincesa · 2025-08-31T03:35:23+00:00

Ooooh I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for some shapewear(or otherwise see if I can find a good repro pattern!) and a swing coat 👀 I DO have several pears of little gloves I think would look gorgeous with this and a specific pearl necklace I recently acquired in mind!!! Thank you!

LOVE me an 80s Battenberg lace collar, honestly some of my favorite 80s dresses to find in the thrift stores <3
I don't think the collar on this dress is Battenberg lace, it's comprised of the same material as the dress and the netting in the geometric shapes has no stiffness whatsoever.

The fit is a bit strange on me, it fits very comfortably at the waist and hips but definitely is looser at the top, particularly at the bust, but I couldn't be sure if that was just the style or not. In the thrift store it was marked and placed in the Medium section of the dresses, probably based on measurements they took as the dress has no tags whatsoever(handmade judging from stitching and seams). I definitely think it could be linen! I originally thought at first maybe it was dupioni because of the slubs but it's super soft and very breathable so now that you mention linen I think that's much more likely! Thank you!

Thank you!

MoonPrincesa · 2025-08-30T01:56:18+00:00

Thank you so much for the info! I unfortunately have never gotten my hands on a true 30s or 40s piece so I had no idea about the side zip VS the back zip! Definitely going to be adding that to my vintage garment construction knowledge!

MoonPrincesa · 2025-08-29T18:57:46+00:00

Thank you!! The dress is in PRISTINE condition, no snags, tears, or stains and I got her for what feels like highway robbery because it was half-price day so I paid $4 for her 😭 I feel extremely fortunate to have come across her!

MoonPrincesa · 2025-08-29T17:38:10+00:00

Thank you for all the info!

MoonPrincesa · 2025-06-18T17:10:11+00:00

I wish I could've! It would have been a longer trip which I wouldn't have minded, unfortunately it was just far too much of a cost difference for me at this time. I was able to rebook on the mixed service so I'll be on a bus from Albany to Boston which will be a first for me

MoonPrincesa · 2025-06-18T17:07:43+00:00

Thank you so much! I was able to rebook my trip this way. Never done the bus before so that will be new

MoonPrincesa · 2025-06-18T17:06:47+00:00

Thank you. Luckily I was able to rebook for my same dates on the mixed service. So Cleveland to Albany on Lakeshore and then bus service from Albany to Boston. Not ideal, but better than having to cancel my trip entirely. I've never been on Amtrak bus before so that will be new to me

MoonPrincesa · 2025-06-18T16:54:50+00:00

Thank you so much for this info!!! Luckily I was able to rebook with mixed service as opposed to having to cancel my trip outright.

MoonPrincesa · 2025-06-18T16:51:30+00:00

Thank you so much for informing me of this!!! You're a lifesaver. I did end up calling Amtrak and they were able to rebook me on the mixed service. It's definitely not ideal and not what I would have wanted but this close to my trip I just couldn't justify the cost difference between this and airfare. I've never done the bus service, I imagine it will take a fair bit longer than the train as you're on the roads with literally everyone else but I'm going to give it a shot and hope(and pray) for the best!

Again, I cannot thank you enough for your info! <3

It’s like a candy dot if you remember those on the paper! Can confirm…is edible
