#6 razberries: this completely doesn’t matter at all but that’s a recurve bow and it is in fact facing the right way. Here’s a real one: http://bit.ly/bZlGKW
No, the bow is not pointing the wrong way, but in order to pull the bowstring back, she would have to be holding the bow as well as the string. So, yes, that is an impossible situation with an actual, functional bow.
The Powerpuff Girls thing and the three swirly things above and below it were definitely added on after. It doesn’t even match with the other designs on the dress.
Why is it even there to begin with? What is the purpose? How are the Powerpuff Girls vintage when I’m in my twenties and can remember the show? And can I get one with Rocko on it from Rocko’s Modern Life? Now that was a good cartoon. Let’s just sew “vintage” cartoons on to anything that looks old now.
thanks for the archery lesson- i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me but wasn’t sure. after i posted, i googled to see and sure enough, it proclaimed, “you are a dumbass, raz.”
it still looks kinda wonky-glad you caught that at least-lol. regardless, the seller shoulda left well enough alone and not added an applique iron patch thing/s to the dress….
Ah, yet another member of the ‘vintage is a pretty word for used stuff that looks kinda old, right?’ school of not-thinking. I’m not sure who I dislike more, them or the Research is for Losers, So Just Put a Random Date on There! club
“Sugar and spice and everything nice, these were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girl, but OneOfAKind4u accidently added an extra ingredient to the concoction: questionably vintage dress!”
First, it’s a poncho, not a jacket. And second, yeah, somebody flayed a few buterflays to make that thing. Why do I want to buy it and wear it just so I can horrify my family?
there is no vintage here. that dress looks 10-15 years old tops and the Powerpuff addition likely new or recent. few things make me want to throttle people more than this “upcycle” trend that has spawned an entire genre of people taking something decent (and in many cases, really GOOD genuine vintage) and mucking it up. or some mediocre crap from Goodwill and calling it vintage, THEN mucking it up and thinking they have something special.
Wow, I feel old. The Powerpuff Girls are vintage. The Digital Underground and De La Soul are classic. And I’m pretty sure we should be expecting “Homeboys from Outer Space” to run on TVLand.

Looks like something Mrs. Roper (from “Three’s Company” Youngsters!) would wear to seduce Mr. Roper when the heat went out.
Are Bubbles eyes supposed to be sliding off of her face like that Oprah painting?
And the fugly buterflay poncho is made of poliester.
This seller is not good at speaches either.
Ugh, her shop is full of horrid old lady blouses and I think she’s using “silk” for everything from polyester to rayon…I’ll feel bad if she actually turns out to be a real old lady who is having to clear out her closets in order to feed her 200 cats.
This is quite vintage, actually. In her younger years, before settling down to regale us in her old age with the tales dancing through her dementia-addled brain as Mother Goose, she was quite the spry superhero child with her sisters.
That shop is hideous. Vintage on Etsy is starting to freak me out a little. Seriously, are the most butt-ugly, unflattering ensembles that I wore in the 80s, and worse yet my mother’s polyester blouses from the 70s what 20-something hipsters are into these days?
Not all “vintage” is worth reviving. Those of us who wore it the first time around are appropriately embarrassed when looking at old pics – you know, the kind on paper. You were warned!
Good grief. First we had a cool vintage bucket that was ruined with a stupid smiley face made from buttons and now this sweet dress ruined by bad embroidery. I guess I’ll just shit in the bucket and wipe my ass with this dress. That’s about all they’re good for now.
I have to disagree twatsupcock-lol. I would NEVER put this on my child even with the crackhead powrpuff who is trying to kill herself. I would not wipe myu ass with it either- if you look at the bottom half and not even closely it looks as though it is the largest piss stain I have ever seen. If someone wants to put piss near my asshole, or anything for that matter, it better involve them paying me and not me paying them for it.
@blondeweezie: the seller seems generally confused about decades anyway. I scanned through some of the items, and stuff that is very clearly 80s (big shoulderpads, tapered skirts, etc.) is labeled 70s or 60s.

From the description:
“Past Times clothing and accessories draw on history but complement today’s modern lifestyle. All are infinitely practical and beautiful too.”
Yup, it’s vintage AND modern. Really.
March 26, 2010 at 2:54 pm
can I just say that I love that you have a “Derp” category?
March 26, 2010 at 2:54 pm
mother goof?
March 26, 2010 at 2:55 pm
I hate it when people take vintage things and ruin them. That dress was adorable on its own. The crap she put on it doesn’t even match!
March 26, 2010 at 2:55 pm
also, I’m no archery expert, but is that powerpuff girl trying to shoot her eye out? it looks like the bow is going the wrong way?
March 26, 2010 at 2:56 pm
I dunno, that Powerpuff girl looks awfully vibrant. Maybe she was added on later?
March 26, 2010 at 2:57 pm

Whats the rule of vintage 10 years or 20?
Powderpuff Girls first aired November 18, 1998.
March 26, 2010 at 3:03 pm
stinkbait- it’s 20 years…it makes me laugh, b/c I own so many “vintage” things…
March 26, 2010 at 3:08 pm
*sits in rocking chair and laments you damn kids*
Well, apparently about two years ago my teen years became vintage. Ouch.
Now you kids go get offa my lawn!

Steps To Success on Etsy:
1. Purchase embroidery machine
2. Buy “vintage” clothes at the thrift store for a buck or 2
3. …
4. Profit!

#17 Mrs. S.: Wow, good point, I totally missed that.
Of course, to draw the bow she’d also need fingers…
March 26, 2010 at 3:26 pm
There is not any labels!
Okay maybe that’s only funny to me.
March 26, 2010 at 3:29 pm
Looks like the seller went on a Goodwill shopping spree.

There may be some etsy shoppers getting goosed.

“but better see more details flat lay”
Say what?
March 26, 2010 at 4:52 pm
Wow, does this mean I can sell my old Duran Duran t-shirts on Etsy now?

March 26, 2010 at 5:43 pm
This is vintage in a post-apocalyptic world. duh.
I want vintage ren and stimpy for my future kids, and Transformers… heck, this would make Transformers practically ancient.

as
“pleas email me, I would love help”
She needs it.

Ok, so A) that archer’s bow looks like a hipster’s mustache,
2) how do y’all not see the resemblance: http://www.alpharetta.ga.us/files/images/press/scarecrowrow2008/Slideshow2008/images/%2313-%20Mother%20Goose.jpg
and D) if there is such a thing as “supper cute,” is there a brunch cute? how about a mid-afternoon snack cute?

March 28, 2010 at 9:48 am
the reason “There is not any labels” is because it was home made originally. Look at the inside of the back. And what makes it Mother Goose???
March 28, 2010 at 11:39 am
If it’s hand altered doesn’t that make it handmade not vintage anyway?

Perhaps it is “supper” cute because it was sewn from the kitchen curtains? I swear my mother had the same ugly goose set in her kitchen.
