It took me a year or so to try buying from ebay which friends recommended; then when hunting for brand name suits I found Etsy.
ANTHONY SICARI
Anthony Sicari clothing was what I searched for. His outfits fit my top heavy figure so well. The leg of mutton sleeves hide large upper arms. My large bust disappears, instead of the two melons strung on a tightrope look from the usual blouse. The stretch material comes in at the waist restoring my once elegant hour glass figure.
ETSY
I found another item on Etsy but didn't know what Etsy was and hesitated to join. Now I'm delighted with Ebay and Etsy. Etsy seems to have more international sellers, individuals and craft shops, hard to find items. This time I was searching for outfits, blouses or scarves with a grape or vine pattern for a wine tasting or wine dinner. I had failed to buy a very expensive wine pattern silk scarf in Rioja, Spain winery - it might have been the Muga shop. I was sure that a winery in California must have sold some. I found a wine pattern blouse (which I bought), and even a dress.
EBAY FEEDBACK
On ebay you can send in your feedback straight away. The sellers are always anxious to know that the goods have arrived. You can order from China tiny items such as a dress ring which can go in a small padded envelope and many sellers even include postage. Ebay allows only one sentence of feedback. You can save space by resorting to abbreviations and deleting the space between sentences.
ETSY POSTAGE & FEEDBACK
You could save a lot on postage if you have family, friends, colleagues in the USA and can post to them and collect from them when visiting the USA or ask them to bring over your items. (Your family member in the USA will have to remove packaging to check the item has not been sent wrong colour or damaged in post. Also going through both customs and security they want to know what they are carrying.) You might even order items to be sent to you at a hotel before travelling there on holiday.
An extra cost on some items sent from the USA could be tax.
On Etsy, however, if you order from the USA to send to the UK, the system won't let you put feedback (in the UK) for about a week after the item has arrived. The system seems to think your item may still be in transit. The time lag means its hard to remember the packaging. But it does allow time to wear the item and find out if there is a problem.
