My Bad Decisions at DC Big Flea This Weekend: A Photo Essay, Ranked from Least to Most Amazing

1. Five vintage blouses (1940s-1960s), for the shop.

2. Three vintage dresses (1950s-1960s), for the shop.

3. Four 1950s day dresses that I am keeping if they fit.

4. One slightly fancier 1950s day dress, and one 1960s cocktail dress and jacket set, that I am keeping if they fit.

5. Two 1950s day dresses for my housemate (happy birthday & merry Christmas!), if they fit.

6. Two 1930s evening gowns in not-great condition.

7. Two Edwardian afternoon gowns in not-great condition.

8. Two Victorian afternoon gowns in pretty decent condition.

9. One FLIPPING AMAZING 1870s opera-themed fancy dress costume in terrible condition but WHO CARES because I am keeping it FOREVER.

In conclusion: Next time I have a booth at DC Big Flea, someone else should probably hold onto the cash, and also my wallet.
