Vix- the eighties are one of my faves, why not try looking at ashes to ashes for inspiration??

Ha! I actually sold some of my stuff to the BBC costume department for the series!

There was a batwing leather jacket, some off-white leather slouch boots and a jumpsuit....the jumpsuit and the leather jacket were both worn by Alex Drake in the first series of Ashes to Ashes and the boots were worn by her in the second series.
Shamefully, I haven't seen series three yet.

I've just sent a parcel of 5 x 1980's !!!!!bow dresses to BBC Scotland, not sure what that's for.

Do they buy from you direct or from Ebay? just being nosey- but I just think its fascinating (or do I need to get out more)

I'm intrigued as well, presumably they know you as a dealer and tell you what they want? How did they find you in the first place?

goanmad

They just tend to randomly search. I used to sell direct to the BBC costume department many years ago but budgets aren't as big these days.

I think it's really exiciting too !! Is it stuff you have worn yourself, could that make part of the blog entry, as a kind of comparision?

I think i need a challenge setting to get me back into my blog..
