You have got to be kidding! $1000 for overalls is outrageous, but for stained overalls is insane. These people are nuts! Plus, I think they look kind of creepy.

Hello, ladies, read the product description, it's obviously a joke.

They were snow white overalls. The lady that bought them is a designer on ebay in the ODOD group...so I guess she was disgusted with the sewing work and decided to slam the other seamstress.

She had smeared mustard on one leg and used a bleach pen to create a stain on them...and then she used satire in the entire description...basically spoofing the boutique community on the current auction descriptions and overuse of some terms and stuff I think.

Like...most of the boutique things people will ramble on about vintage materials...or they will list an outfit "good for 18M-3T..when really it looks like crap on the infants/toddlers because - well it is HUGE.

But the overalls were being auctioned off, and there were "legitimate" bids on them...so I'm not sure why they were pulled..unless the bids weren't legit.
