Doesn't this look like an aristocrat?

I wonder how I can dye mine like that?!

 

[Cutie Patootie]

I can't see it.

I don't think the linky is working.

Is it green though, I think I know which one you are talking about.

 

[SEEPAE]

I think it is an aristocrat, looks just like it. if it is they did a REALLY good job of dyeing it, I dont think I could have done that.

That does look like a 'crat~I wonder if they used Koolaid & layer dyed it?

 

[SEEPAE]

It is hard to tell, check out what she did to this one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=4305277185

and then this one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=2395357566

they look just like aristocrats, and I think they probably are.

It looks like an Aristocrat and believe me if that was koolaid dyed it would not be so perfect lines like that. No way!! I wonder how the heck she did it?

no I really think the baby one is embroidered, I just noticed that if you look closely it looks like the wool was seperated and embroidered then stiched back(look real closely at the hem about the "baby") but then it may just be my tired eyes, LOL

 

[mamaofthreeboys]

No you're right they both say embroidered (my tired eyes & its only 9:20 my time :LOL)

 

[DarkHorseMama]

OK, I've bid on it...darnit!

:

If I win it, I'll give the scoop on inner tags, closer inspection remarks, etc. Wish me luck!

 

[Mrs Dimples]

I saw that and I was thinking the exact same thing! Be sure to give us the scoop, whoever gets it...nosy hyenas we are...

aristocrats have an outer tag and that is it(or at least the one I have only had an outer tag, LOL) so I dont know if that will help, but I am sure looking at it in person will help, LOL

 

[Trishas Tribe]

Ok ya'll..I had to do it! I e-mailed the seller and asked her if it's a 'crat. In a really nice way saying... "I just wanted to know for size comparison since they look so similar". I'll let ya know when I hear form her

 

[SEEPAE]

LOL, you took the easy way out, LOL

 

[momsmyjob]

I really like those, they're pretty.

 

[pb_and_j]

They do look an awful lot like Aristocrats... I wonder if she took off the tags?

I agree w/ Kathleen though, there is no way you could paint on dye that perfect like the one w/ stripes. At least no way that I know of!

Very interesting...

 

[nym]

Looks cool though

 

[Trishas Tribe]

I heard back from the seller. She said they are not aristocrats, that they are made by a company in Canada and she will have more for sale often. So, it sounds like she has a wholesale deal with them. She did agree that they are very similar to aristocrats.

She didn't say how she dyed it. However, I did have a dream last night that she colored it with a permanant marker :LOL

I just got this picture in my head of a mama hunched over a soaker with her kid's crayola markers. LOL!
