Looks brown, is blue. This one is really badly listed. Maybe the seller doesn't want to sell it?

Oh, I've seen worse. It will be interesting to see what kind of attention it gets, tho. If it gets what it deserves, look for prices of $500 or up.
 
It's brown. The other one she has listed (from which she copied the description verbatim, leading to the error) is blue. Someone size 36 is going to get a couple GREAT suits. i don't need anymore blue or brown P/S suits (at least that's what 'Er Indoors tells me), or I'd be in the bidding.

I've seen alot worst. Have to laugh at some of them, especially the hats for sale. Makes you scratch your head and wonder what the sellers are thinking.

i considered buying both suits with the possibility of properly photographing them / measuring them / selling them on - if they didn't fit.
the seller quoted $60 (for one suit) for shipping to the UK, which seems a bit high.
in the end i decided against it in case there were any nasty surprises. that's the problem with badly listed stuff; it's always a gamble.

I know that some sellers insist on Express Mail for shipping to overseas destinations but that would be almost $75 for a box or $38 for a flat rate envelope.
Priority Mail International Large Flat Rate Box (puh!) would set you back exactly $60.95. Maybe the seller simply doesn't have a clue as to what option would be the most appropriate.

these two are back on.
i actually replied to the seller to say she should consider taking the time to photograph and measure these suits clearly, put them in the vintage section and she might make a really good price.
well, she's put them in the vintage section. but hasn't bothered with better photos or measurements.

The third time around, I did end up buying the Brown suit, and as luck would have it it fit beautifully (excepting trouser length, which is easily sortable). Glad I took a punt now
