Most people who shop for vintage hate Halloween. That's when all the party-happy costume seekers descend upon the shops, buying up stuff they're just going to destroy. Lots of shop owners keep boxes of crappy polyester Brady Bunch clothes that only see daylight between the middle of September and All Saint's Day.

(Most people who sew hate Halloween, too, since the harried moms and dithering high-school students making costumes clog up the fabric stores, getting in the way and stressbombing all over the place.)

However — if you want a Halloween dress, and not just a Halloween costume, this sexy spiderweb-print is as good as it gets. (Sent by msbelle! Thank you!) And it fits with my favorite lazy Halloween costume: The Black Widow. Black 50s dress, black hat with veil, dramatic lipstick — instant costume!

Anyway, this is up on eBay; auction ends early next week. I think it's going to go for a premium. It's a decent size, if a little small in the waist (B36/W26) and in good condition. I'd recommend you snipe if you bid on this one!
