    FREE Ladies Clothes - 1950's

    I've got a few items I'm giving away. They're all in pretty good condition. Any ladies who live in the Los Angeles area and are willing to come pick them up get first pick, as I'd rather not deal with mailing things (and then you can try them on). Shipping costs will be the winner's...
