Adele Got A New Outfit

Today, one of my ebay auctions arrived in the mail.  When I won  the auction, I felt really bad because I was the only bidder and the price was crazy low.  I was familiar with the work of this seller and had her on my list to buy from.  The seller is Gabi-5mates.  I have been following her blog and enjoying looking at her creations all year.  I finally realized that she was selling her wonderful outfits on Ebay for about $35 - $45.  I knew one day, I would have one.  A couple weeks ago,  this outfit was posted as an auction, for peanuts.  I put in a bid not really expecting to win.  I didn't even realize that the outfit was designed for the Fashion Royalty size dolls.  How perfect!  Adele was in need of some pants that weren't capri style. 

 
There are so many pieces to this outfit. There is a real straw hat, an overhead scarf, a leather-like coat with pockets, shirt, pants, a handbag, and a necklace and earrings.  Unbelievable!
 
 
 

The pants are made from a heavy, crinkly, leather type material.

The straw hat is nicely detailed.
 
 

 I didn't show the jewelry in any of the pictures, because I conveniently misplaced it momentarily.

Adele and I LOVE this outfit.  We will definitely be buying more from Gabi-5mates!

Here are a couple links to past outfits that I just adored.

  1. She looks great and the outfit is fabulous. Nice buy :O)

    I have outfits from several sellers that I've gotten like that. Once she's discovered her bids will go up.

  2. Dollz4Moi - Thanks. She typically had them only as BIN (when I looked in the past). I felt the BIN price was good and I was willing to pay it. I just had to save up for an outfit. I don't know where this low auction price came from I guess it was my lucky day. I don't think that is something she typically does. I am trying to get her to open an Etsy store. I think she would do better there with just setting a price and being done with it.

  9. Chynadoll, Dolly's World, Georgia Girl, and Rosetti, Adele said "thank you". She is excited about her new found designer. She has always had trouble buying off the rack, so now having access to a designer will make it so much easier.

  11. Good things come to those who wait. This beautiful fashion with so many different ways to wear it is definitely a good thing. I'm glad you were able to add one of Gabi 5 Mates' fashions to Adele's wardrobe. It's a mini wardrobe by itself.

  14. DBG - It was a real blessing that I was able to add this piece. No telling how long it would have taken me to buy one of her creations, without this opportunity. Now, that I know what I will be getting, I can now actually budget it in, instead of just moving it around on the list.

  18. Gabi-5mates - No problem. I have been admiring your work for some time now. I think the timing was perfect. Like I said, I didn't realize they were for FR, even though you clearly state that on your blog. I just got my Adele last month. She and I both love her now outfit. We are both looking forward to your new Etsy shop. LOL! Email me if you need information or help with that.
