Welcome to the CHS Resale Salon!!!

I started this forum because I, like many women, have pieces in my wardrobe that I simply don’t wear. It is my hope that this forum will put clothing sellers and clothing buyers in contact and help us all clean out and upgrade our wardrobes.

Before you proceed, it is highly recommended that you read Buying from the CHS Resale Salon: 101. This post contains all the guidelines for how to purchase a listed item. If you are interested in listing some of your unworn wardrobe here in the Resale Salon, please read the CHS Resale Salon Listing Instructions. And if you have any questions, email Belle at capitolhillstyle (at) gmail (dot) com.

Walter Floral Dress--Sz S-$50

A floral Walter dress. This dress is a great summer dress for brunch or drinks with girlfriends - I think it is a little too short for work as it falls a few inches above the knee, but that is my opinion. I have never worn this dress because I bought it without trying it on and it is too small. It is a polyester blend with a side zipper.

The dress is a size small and would probably fit a 4/6 pretty well. I am selling this dress for $50.

Blue Wrap Dress-Sz S--$95

The versatile two way Julia wrap dress by Calypso Christiane Celle. The wrap dress can be worn two ways a wrap for work and a twist front dress for after work, so it is a great addition to any working woman's wardrobe.

This dress is a vibrant blue and size small, which i think would fit a size 4-8. I am an 8, but am far too busty for this dress. I have worn and washed the dress once, but alas it is too small for my chest!  I should have ordered it in a medium.

This dress retails for $175 - I am selling it for $95.

Dooney Bucket Purse--$35

 

This signature Dooney & Bourke mini-bucket purse was purchased a few years ago but it is in lightly used condition.  It is a light black (dark grey) with black monogram pattern.  The inside could use a cleaning but there are no major blemishes on the outside or inside, and only light wear.

The dimensions of the purse are 8.5x5.5x9 and it will hold all your basics and probably surprise you with how cavernous it actually is.  It has an inside pocket for your cell phone and a zipper pocket as well.  Both zippers also work.  Retail price was $148, pick it up today for a lot less.  E-mail capitolhillstyle (at) gmail (dot) com to make me an offer.

Grey Pinstripe Banana Republic Suit--Sz 2/4--$100

I purchased this lovely charcoal grey pinstripe suit last August, but I don't really wear pants so it wasn't the smartest purchase.  The jacket is a one button with this very sophisticated and feminine rounded cut, so instead of falling straight the bottom pulls away in this very soft cut.  The jacket also has a dark grey lining with lilac piping and buttons on the sleeves.

The pants have never been altered and they have a standard inseam (33").  The have a zipper front with top button and belt loops.  The pants have welt pockets in back and slant pockets in front.  The jacket has pockets on the front, and one of them has decorative detailing to look like a double pocket.

The fabric content is a wool blend (87% wool) with polyester lining.  The jacket is a size 2 and the pants are size 4.  Retail price for the suit was $228 for the jacket and $118 for the pants, so you can get both pieces for the price of the pants.

The suit has been worn twice and was dry cleaned last week.  E-mail if interested capitolhillstyle (at) gmail (dot) com.
