Soft apricot cotton blend knit fabric. It has a nice stretch to.it.. sewn in sequins make up the square? Lol Shape that you see on the front of the dress. It comes with a braided silk chord /tassel belt that you can style the dress with or go without. This is definitely 1920's inspired cut. Very very cool on. Easy to wear. Zero flaws. Like new.

@askwhatuwant these last two arent really what Im looking for. They are a bit too generic. I need stuff more ballroom centric.

@barbievasile send me a link to your store webpage or a just an image or 2 of the dress styles you know will sell out fast for you and I know I can hook you up. I live in SF. I cannot believe the bargains on ballroom gear I have found here. I only need 2 or 3 images. I used to work in high fashion. Lol. Believe me I am a blood hound with this type of thing. Hahaha....

@barbievasile I will leave you be. But I really am going to get caught up on the current cuts that the ladies are loving and see if I can work some of my maven magic. We will see. Have a happy thanksgiving. :-)

@askwhatuwant Happy Thanksgiving! Dont you dare leave me be! Lol I am completely on board with all you said. We should talk live or text or email! Here are a few thoughts to begin with...

1. My store right now is a wall inside of my Dance Studio. It's not even fully up and running. I'm accumulating inventory so I have something to sell. 2. My current market is very conservative. They don't want a lot of bling and they want sleeves. I don't plan on that being long-term but that will be my income for right now.

I have a couple of $2,000 dresses in my inventory but they will not be the first ones to go LOL. Surprisingly even items that are easy to find online are still wanted in the store like simple practice wear and accessories.

I am also a bloodhound and loving that people are already asking me to find certain items they want. I scour online, at consignment shops, and Goodwill right now. The only difficulty is finding the right balance of quality versus price.

@barbievasile omg. lol. I know these women you described suuuuuuper well! hahaha! They are old school and like classic Jackie O lines? Or like that outfit Michelle Obama was wearing last week. They might watch Fox news.... (I do too.... ) . lol. They also have plenty of money to spend on lessons and show cases.

@barbievasile These are the best clients. They might be boring when it comes to their shopping wants. But they do spend. So I will help them do that. lol. Long sleeved drapey shrugs might be a great idea.

I'm about to place an order with Very Fine for shoe inventory but they are pretty conservative. I would love if you could provide me with some fun unique shoes. But again quality is fairly important. They have to be brand new, hopefully with tags and box. And they cannot be cheap knock-offs from overseas. Those have no support and fall apart right away. Perfect scenarios are online woman who bought one pair of hi quality shoes but never use them and wants to get rid of them for $20.

@barbievasile They compliment almost any outfit you might wear to dance ballroom in. Bolero dance jackets ( in Navy , black, and chocolate brown of course) might be an interesting thing to try on them too. Get the items on your wall that they forgot to bring from home like dance shoe metal brushes for the bottoms of their shoes ( for purchase only) etc. just get them into your merchandise area... oh and while they are getting that brush ... hit them with eye candy.... :-) .

Right now I'm really struggling to find jewelry at reasonable prices. People want beautiful Swaorski crystals but don't want to pay that price. I don't mind other cheaper options as long as they are shiny and not going to turn green. I would imagine in San Francisco you could find some decent pieces in the 10 to $20 range I could resell for 40-50.

@barbievasile Always have like "gateway purchase items" like $8 cute dance bags or those mini fans that cool them off after they finish a lively salsa... and then at the register... have the next level of gateway purchase items... $10 agate rock studs in every color.... ( can get those for $2 each easily) . everyone loves them... and then keep adding to their goody bag. lol.

@barbievasile Oh honey! I competed in smooth for 2 years and have danced ballroom (all dances! lol. ) . for omg. 20 years! Holy smacks.... and I know about the shoes. There is no comparison. The highest quality or nothing at all. I can feel the difference the moment I try a bad shoe on.... So no. I would not do that to you or anyone else. haha...

@barbievasile I can easily find the jewelry you are looking for here at those prices. And I do know how to pick items that stay on throughout the night. lol. I have an amazing store here on Haight that has earrings perfect for ballroom that range from $8.00 - $20 that are designed by the store owners personally so they are all one of a kind styles that are ... well.... I think I will take pics for you so you can decide for yourself.

I lived in the San Jose area from 2001 to 2004 and loved San Francisco. I might have to take a business trip there to see exactly the resources you're working with. Hahaha! In all seriousness a plane ticket would be worth it to bring back great cheaper items.

@barbievasile yeah we should definitely chat .... maybe after the holiday? I am really excited about this. haha. I love to shop! And I love shopping for inventory even more. I will dig and dig until I find treasure. I drive store staff crazy sometimes. lol! But I always know what I need and I don't settle! But I'm really funny. So people like me anyways. lol.

@barbievasile that would be awesome! I would love that! Wow. I would love this to become a cash cow business venture for us both. My mom had a lady in her bible study group a few years back that started out selling a wall of jewelry in a consignment store and in 3 years? she was making 30k / month! True story.
Nov 23Reply

askwhatuwant
@barbievasile But she was a relentless bargain shopper. She would hit the LA garment district and shop from 7am - 8 or 9 pm non-stop driving everyone crazy! My mom went with her one time and said her legs felt like they were falling off keeping up with her. lol.
But it is more than possible if you have the eye and can find the best deals.

@barbievasile How's about the day after Thanksgiving - I look around some of my favorite spots for you and check off some of the items you listed here. I can find ballroom dance shoes - high quality ones... boxes are rare. But I have seen plenty of perfectly new ballroom shoes around town going for way less than they should.

Now i will leave YOU be to enjoy your holiday! We'll talk more soon. :-) :-) :-)

I'm excited too. I have shoe brushes and small accessories. I'd like to create and sell Ballroom themed baskets for holidays with some accessories and Ballroom themed t- t-shirts.

I am working out of the ballroom studio until all the administrative, Tech, and marketing materials are ready. Assuming all goes well I will get a storefront and do the serious public grand opening after the first of the year. I will be shopping Black Friday but we can talk maybe Saturday?

@barbievasile Oh! cool. I will take a look now. Absolutely. Let's touch base on Saturday. Yeah until you do your store grand opening maybe hand out short questionairs to your targeted merch buying students like ; Gold or silver? Kate spade or Betsey Johnson? And see where their tastes lye. Maybe do fun market research games... they have fun little games they do in test groups to see what their buying trends REALLY are. lol.

@barbievasile Anywho... there is a turkey leg with my name on it. I gotta run. Talk Saturday for sure :-)
