    I found this at a local thrift store; not sure why they would put it on the floor but when I saw the Betsy Johnson name I recognized it as a major designer I've seen many times before & thought this was unusual enough to be a collectible to someone & worth money (I just sold a ugly polyester dress on eBay for $250 because it was made by Theirry Mugler!)

    Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Is it a collectible/valuable?
    Thanks!

    The Mugler is high '80s. Too funny about the Betsey Johnson tee shirt. I do see it's a reprint from 2011 which would make a difference in value.

    Find a vintage DVF wrap dress and that may be worth a good amount of coin.

    I think I have some jewelry by her that my mom left me - did she make necklaces or earrings?

Cut & paste all the highest newer "Sold Ebay' Items-Watches,Purses,Fashion,Shoes-new vintage stuff-Hermes and all that stuff that doesn't exactly make my heart sing-but that check for $200 to $1000 would...it's a thought,good instincts Journ.

    Not sure about Betsey Johnson clothing but BJ jewelry for the most part has little to no value. A few elaborate BJ necklaces have resale, but 99% of the rest is not worth picking up. There are hundreds of modern (unsold at .99) BJ brooches on Ebay. They must be incredibly cheaply made.
