after tons of consideration, like SERIOUS consideration, i have finally picked the winners to my hammer pants contest!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
thank you so much to everyone who participated!!! your entries were all so great, i really had such a hard time. to be perfectly honest, i kinda knew who i wanted to give prizes to, the moment i saw their entries! so although i did appreciate your votes, you can be assured that they did not really have an effect on my final decision.
+++++
my top prizes go to.……….. *drumroll please!!!*
*gasp*!!!
- oh my god.
i can't believe... i can't believe i'm about to say this!
you've won!!
sunshine!
and
arabelle
i absolutely loved both your entries! sunshine’s polyvore set was just so enticing and made me want to have tea out in the park, and arabelle’s made me laugh. so congratulations to the two of you!
+++++
but wait! that’s not all! because i loved so many of your entries, and felt like a mean bitch for not being able to give all of you prices, i’ve decided to dish out a few more sarouel pants!!! am i not the nicest person? these were the extra few entries that made me smile!
the catch is, that i cannot afford to customise the pants to each and every one of you. i will, however, get all your waist measurements, and also pick some cute cotton fabric on your behalf! your pants will not arrive till a later date, because 1) i need to also do school work which takes up 99% of my time, and 2) i am currently broke and need money to buy materials + pay for postage, since i didn’t expect to dish out so many prizes!!
honourable mentions go out to…

i wish i could hand out a few more pants, but i really can’t. the other sets that i really liked belonged to
harriet
sheena
gem wilder
i’m so sorry but i can’t afford to give the 3 of you prizes too. that broke my heart. i will be willing to sell them to you at 50% if you want to buy them (basically i can’t fork out that much for more fabric). if not, i’m very sorry, but good luck and i hope you enter my next contest!!
+++++
so there you have it! i only intended to give out 2 pairs of pants at first, but i’m too much of a bloody softie! i will be in touch with my two winners + my honourably mentioned stars soon!!

Awww, congratulations to all the amazing winners!Those sets are magnificent, and I had so, SO much fun watching the videos – they are adorable! Congratulations to you too, Gilda, for putting on such a unique competition – I only wish I had entried, haha!
seriously! you’re too cute..
congratulations guys.
gilda, if you’d offered me your pants last week at half price, I woulda been all over it. But since I got robbed (arghkdyefdlh), its gonna be a while till I can afford anything pretty. sowee
NO WAY! I couldn’t imagine how you’d choose amongst so many rad entries (and i just knew you HAD to pick Arabelle!!) – of course in the end you had to make more pants Gilda. Anything else would be cruel
thank you so so much! I am dusting off my jackets now.
maybe now I have to get those floral Paul Smith oxfords…?
I really enjoyed looking at those sets as the contest was going on, lol. And thanks for posting those videos, they were hilarious!! Congrats to all the winners of your contest Gilda =o).
