Newest item up is a pair of jodhpurs made by an indie Canadian label. You may remember me blogging about these as I was so enamored with them (the posts no longer exist in case you were wondering). However, they came in an entirely different colour than the photos. So beware, as they are pictured as dark grey in the stock and runway photos (via here, here, and here), but the pair I received are actually light blue, like a light denim wash (see the bottom picture of the jodhpurs for the true colour - you can click to enlarge for detail). I know this is not the end of the world, but I've never been a light denim wash sort of gal. Also, the ribbed cuffs on the bottom are slightly imperfect, as one is sewn on looser than the other (notice how the ribbing is sewn on more stretched out on the left in the 2nd last photo). This might not bother you as much as it did me, as the tighter cuff happened to be on the leg that is injured and swollen (and you won't be paying such a high price either).

Anyway, these new and unworn oversized jodhpurs are one size fits most (ie. medium-ish) with an elasticized waistband which stretches from 33-42" and closes with a zipper fly and grey button. The jodhpur style hips are 55" at their widest. The grey ribbing used at the waistband and leg cuffs are made of organic cotton. The main fabric is an organic stretch twill dyed with low-impact dyes. There is also grey/silver reflective piping used down the side seams of the legs and at the pockets, making you visible during your leisurely night bike rides (you can see them glowing in the first 2 photos I took).

I just love kjoo's felted pieces. This is my most recent purchase from her. I thought my love of cowl necks and scarves would carry over into large necklaces, but it turned out to be a bit too big for my necklace taste. Also a bit too orange for my colour palette.

The necklace is 11.8" at its longest. Please see the original Etsy listing for more pictures. It has never been worn.

My first listing will be a gorgeous retro-print, pin-up inspired dress from Genevieve Dietz.

• The fabrics used are vintage.
• The collar is super fun and dramatic and can be worn buttoned up with a handmade ceramic button, or left open.
• Genevieve lengthened the dress for me from knee-length to just below by adding the same yellow vintage lace used in the bodice as a ruffle at the bottom. This could be removed if you wanted, I'm sure.
• The dress fits me perfectly (and looks damn good!), with my measurements of 37" bust, 31" waist, and 40" hip. There's more room in the hip area if needed because of the A-line skirt.
• There are a couple of details that add to the handmade charm of this piece: first, the buttons are attached to only one layer of the green print fabric. It's quite possible that the buttons could rip through this layer with wear. I'd suggest reinforcing it. And second, the side zipper was not fully finished. So I'd either tuck in the ends when wearing, or finish off the zipper with a quick hand/machine sewing fix.
• This dress has never been worn.

Please view the original Etsy listing for full pictures. You may notice the hat on the model - I did get this with the dress. However, it was made more for the photoshoot than for actually wearing. I will include the hat with the dress if you'd like. You could at least use it for extra fabric to reinforce the single layer the buttons are sewn onto.
