DRAWING: FREE 1960's Bombshell Lipstick Red Boucle 3-Piece Woman's Suit

I am sure this will be a popular item, so I'm going to do a drawing for it. Suit is actually cranberry color, not bright red.

Here's the pics:

Measurements:
Vest Bust: Up to 38"
Vest Waist: Up to 32"
Skirt Waist: Up to 29"
Skirt Hips: Up to 38"
Jacket: ---

This suit will look best if you are over 5'6".

And here's the rules (they are pretty easy):

1) You must fit the suit yourself or it must be for someone who will wear it (wife, sister, friend).
2) NO RESELLERS (But resellers are welcome to enter if it's for THEMSELVES and not a customer)
3) You pay shipping by Priority Mail within the US.
4) You must post a picture of yourself (or your wife, friend, etc) wearing all three pieces of the suit in the What Are You Wearing Today thread by December 31, 2008, and also post a link or a photo to this thread.
5) Drawing closes June 18, 2008, 6pm PST.

Here's the usual drivel:

You pay shipping via US Priority Mail. Please post to this thread and do not PM me, as my mailbox is full. No resellers please, this item is for your own use.

International Loungers: You are welcome to claim this item, but I will only ship within the US. You will have to find a US Lounger, and I will ship the item to them and send that person a bill for shipping. They can than send the item to you.

Jacket has Union Label. Please note vest zipper needs to be replaced on this item.

Don't want to alienate any of the ladies but I think my wife would look beautiful in that suit. Of course I am biased.;)

Gentlemen are always welcome to claim any ladies items, as long as it's for someone to use and NOT for resale.

Thank you, definately not for resale that would violate the spirit and upset the karma fairy causing the earth to tilt on its axis like a 1950's rand-mcnally globe in a 2nd grade classroom:eek: lol

First time I was ever glad to look like the dogs lunch. Guess it is a good thing I am a dog person.:)
Thank you unknown-name-dog, Vintage Betty for offering this suit so kindly and my best regards to Ashley and Fifties Freak.
I look forward to posting the photos of my wife in this beautiful suit and I know she will look fantastic in it.
