There isn't a single one under $12.99, and most are in the $17.99-$24.99 range. <br /><br />On the bright side, they still haven't figured out that they should up the prices on vintage, so that's something.Emily Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01157836907448301669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408718927772235297.post-55006682306892058102011-09-12T22:04:54.335-04:002011-09-12T22:04:54.335-04:00Fabulous find!

Now, I have the same set, but I got it for $75 new at Ikea. I think that's a travesty. And Value Village consistently has higher prices than any other store, even for stained/damaged items.

There are so many times that I see something in there that would cost less on sale, new, at the actual store it comes from (a pair of American Eagle capris circa 2000 for $16 comes to mind). <br />But this dress is a beauty, I can't wait to see how you style it up!
