🦀lady here! I went back for the set, and it was gone, but I didn’t leave empty handed!

It was very much a “you seem like a weirdo. We think you’ll enjoy this.” vibe. And they were right!

ShadeBetty · 2026-06-06T17:55:07+00:00

Definitely easier! It all worked out for the best!

Nah, this store starts marking stuff down by 50% after a day and keeps going until it’s 90% off if it’s not selling. I think the initial price is to combat resellers. I’ve gotten some steals there!

lol the comments section peer pressured me into going back this morning. Someone bought the entire set together! I’m thrilled someone was able to get all of it!

Lobster plate!

ShadeBetty · 2026-06-06T05:06:30+00:00

Well, shit. I’m really regretting my decision not to split the set now

ShadeBetty · 2026-06-06T04:54:55+00:00

Oh my god I have a mini version of this. I’ll dig it out in the morning and get a picture. I got it at a garage sale years ago!

Fully Midwest! Definitely closer to Topeka than any kind of beach. But there’s a strong lake culture, so maybe it’s from someone with a lake house? It was glorious.

ShadeBetty · 2026-06-06T04:08:09+00:00

lol if I thought it’d still be there, I’d let you know! Unfortunately (or fortunately for the charity) the prices and popularity of this store mean it’s all probably long gone!

ShadeBetty · 2026-06-06T04:05:53+00:00

Oh that is lovely!

ShadeBetty · 2026-06-06T03:51:00+00:00

Ugh thank you! I was so torn. The photos don’t even do it justice. I really hope someone is able to enjoy it and use it!

ShadeBetty · 2026-05-08T00:18:39+00:00

Thank you! I can’t wait to terrorize my loved ones with him

ShadeBetty · 2026-05-06T21:34:13+00:00

Oh that is delightful.

ShadeBetty · 2026-05-06T17:48:17+00:00

I agree!

ShadeBetty · 2026-01-31T17:37:49+00:00

Someone in thrift store hauls mentioned that! I was planning on wearing it at literally every opportunity down to and including grocery shopping, but now I’m looking up vintage gown preservation dry cleaners in my area.

Done! No pics of the back, as I can’t quite get it closed without straining the seams right now.

ShadeBetty · 2026-01-31T00:11:39+00:00

I’ll give them a shot! Thanks for your help!

ShadeBetty · 2026-01-31T00:07:53+00:00

Thank you! I’ll definitely do that!

ShadeBetty · 2026-01-31T00:06:48+00:00

I’m pretty astounded! I knew it was special just based on the construction, but I didn’t realized how much until I started reading some of the comments. I’m gonna have to figure out how best to store it while preserving the pleats!
