@elizabeth7ru8e While I prefer Poshmark, several have been listed elsewhere as well. Your fiance is lucky to have such a considerate and generous friend. Above all, stay safe and well.

This is like seeing a MOMA museum piece. Great memories as my father had one of these from the 50’s. Thank you for selling such fabulous & difficult to find garments that are true gems. 💎
