Elena Gilbert

Sold.

interested :)

What???

Am I crazy or do you see that it's been removed as well?

Well I don't see it anymore but when India search it comes up?? Not sure how it work...

I don't see it anymore either as a spot but can find it in the search :/ ??
Is it a wrong spot then?

Delena_4_ever on Livejournal, also known as Blelena on Coolspotters, keeps deleting the spot. It's only her who keeps doing this. Every day she would change the description of the spot to say "Incorrect" and I had to keep changing it back. One day I forgot to change it back because I had to go to class and it got deleted. I will add the spot again.

yeah, she did and will do again it to ***** us off

The spot was deleted by a Coolspotters admin. Users can't delete spots on here unless they created it themselves.

She must have kept flagging the spot or asking the admin to delete the spot. The spot already had 5 fans, I don't see why the admin would go out of their way to delete a spot for no reason. I don't think the spot should be deleted if the majority thinks the spot is correct. So far, she's the only one who disagrees. I respect her opinion but if all of us want the spot up then she should just leave it alone and not buy the shirt for herself.

I agree @tvdstyle, this is just annoying. I believe the spot is correct i can't see any differences myself, looks identical!! I would be interested to know why Blenena aka Delena_4_ever thinks this spot is wrong??

Because it is wrong. Elena's top has adjustable straps, no bottom seam and no back ties. The costume designers don't change things that much, ever. Do you have any idea how difficult it would be to create and add adjustable straps? Ridiculous.

I do hate to go on and i see what you mean Blelena and totally agree with the differences you have pointed out but i don't agree with your argument and still think this is correct as
No.1 Adjustable straps are easy to create as i have done this to a few tops as i'm small chested and sometimes i find spaghetti strap tops can be long in length. If my dressmakers not got other work on and a color match is available this can be done in a matter of couple hours. Hardest part occasionally depending on color is the color matching but i can't imagine the costume designers for TVD finding this too difficult tbh.
No.2 Tie backs, super easy to remove, they are only sewn into the side seams.
No.3 The bottom seam has been turned up on other tops before on the show, i believe this is to hide branding.
Not so ridiculous really at all, just my opinion same as you have yours :D I do have this top and have spent some time looking and i still believe its correct, the crochet is the exact same, pattern and everything! buttons exact same, front detailing exact same and even the fits the same.
I guess if you feel that strongly about it maybe just don't buy the top hun, let us know if you manage to find what you think is the correct spot ;)
I think the spot is correct and should remain as i think the majority also believe this is correct.

I think the costume department might have replaced the straps with the straps of another Hollister shirt. Hollister shirts are all the same red color because they use the same dye. This would make it simple for them to find a color match.
The tie-back straps are easy to remove. I'm not talented with alternations but I could still do that in 5 minutes.
The costume designers are really talented. They make all of Katherine's ornate dresses from scratch. They have said in interviews that if they can't find a piece of clothing that fits the scene, they will make it themselves. These alterations would be a piece of cake for them.
I believe the shirt is correct because it has the same number of buttons, the same crochet trim at the top, the same velvet strips, the same ruffles, the same number of ruffles and velvet strips, the same length and width of the detailing in front, the same color, and the same silhouette.
I definetly understand why you would have doubts because that is a lot of alterations to do to one piece of clothing but I think it wouldn't take too long for experienced costume designers. I think there are many similarities between two shirts and the shirt is so unique that it is correct. I respect your opinion and I don't expect you to agree with us, I just wanted to explain myself so you could see where I'm coming from. :)

How much for the small?

thx I just bought mine :)

Yay! your welcome! it's a cute little top.

Is it spotted for someone?

It's not spotted for Elena since it's hard to see a clear view of the shirt because her hair's covering most of it. It looks really similar though! A few of us just purchased the shirt anyways since it's only about $10 with free shipping right now because American Eagle's having a sale. :)

I have the Abercrombie Fallon tank in burgundy size small. It would be $20 bucks plus shipping. Message me if interested.

Yay! I've been re-watching myself...getting in the mood for season 4 :)

oh definitely... i can't wait for season 4 better get saving for all the new spots that are gonna be heading our way ;)

Af tank is on hold.

Do you ship outside the US?

It depends on where you are. Message me and I'll see what I can do.

Is the AF tank still on hold?

Yes it is. I saw that one but I want it in the burgundy :)

That sucks you weren't able to get one. :( I'm sure more will pop up on Ebay eventually.
I'm not selling the shirt above. I just thought some girls might be interested since the only other one on Ebay right now is going for over $100 and it still has 2 days left.

I got mine for $9.95 plus shipping.

Wow nat! Great deal!!

I think you're the only person who was able to get Elena's exact color from the store, and on sale too. Lucky you! :)

I know of a few others that got them from the store, but not at 9.95! That is a great deal Kris!!!

Good for you guys! The one on Ebay sold for over $200!

I saw that... I was shocked it went for so much!

Seriously? Why would they remove the bottom seam and add adjustable straps? Do you have any clue how difficult it is to create adjustable straps? There would be no point in doing that. Stop trying to make a top fit a spot that is incorrect. By that logic you could take anything and say 'the costume designers changed every aspect, but it's still right!'

I don't know why they would add adjustable straps but it can be done. And as for the bottom seam, they did the same thing like they did with the American Eagle lace tank in teal that Elena wore in the exact same episode. They either hemmed it up or rolled it up. They can't have the logo showing for obvious reasons, everyone knows this. I think the detailing on the front is way too similar to not be it. It's exactly the same as the Hollister one. We all value your opinion and it's encouraged for people to speak their opinions on spots, we all have the same goal to find the exact items but everyone else agrees that it's the same unless someone else wants to speak up about it?

I doubt they'd put in adjustable straps. They could've easily just make the strap shorter to fit. Also a lot of Hollister clothes look alike, the correct top is probably something that is extremly similair.
Like with the hannah top Bella wears, there is a different version that has identical stiching only the logo is placed differently.

That's what I think, too. :) The Hollister top spotted there is inaccurate, but the real one is probably the same brand. Or maybe even Abercrombie, sometimes they have similar stuff with minor differences.

Honestly when it first came on here I thought it was wrong too, I spent ages comparing the two and grew more adamant that it was incorrect. Now I agree with Lilac and Savannah, I do not think that it is the exact one but is most likely a similar top from the same branch of brands.

Hmmmm, i'm being awkward LOL. I still believe its correct. The adjustable strap thing really isn't a big deal, i've done this to spaghetti strap tops before as too long in length and covers bra straps better. The hardest part in doing this occasionally depending on the tops color can be color match :)

I agree, it would be really hard to make adjustable straps from scratch. It is possible that they simply removed the straps from another Hollister shirt and sewed them on her shirt.
I've searched through thousands of pages of Hollister, American Eagle, Aeropostale, and Abercrombie clothes and I've never come across anything that looks remotely similar. The design on the front of the shirt is very unique and detailed.
That's alright if you don't think the spot's correct. People have disagreed about the AE waffle hoodie and the Aeropostale bow cami too. I still think the spot's correct because I have one in red and in person it looks exactly like the shirt she wears. :)

I actually think Elena's top might be Aeropostale not Hollister. It kind of looks like a different version of the pink one Caroline wears. I knew it reminded me of something! Lol. Aeropostale has adjustable straps and the front pattern is extremely similar. Maybe we could all take a search around?

http://coolspotters.com/clothing/aeropostale-ribbed-henle...

I have Caroline's Aeropostale tank and I don't think it looks like the shirt Elena wears. It's ribbed instead of smooth, it doesn't have as many buttons, the ruffles are shorter, it doesn't have a crochet trim at the top, it fits tighter, it has a seam under the bust, and the buttons fasten inside a hole in the shirt. Elena's shirt has fabric loops that come out to fasten the buttons.

Oh yeah, not the same for sure. But it just shows that Aeropostale did do something in that sort of style, which I think might be worth looking at as well to try and find Elena's. :)

I have the SA one as well, and I think the details on the front are too spot on for it to not be correct.

I have it in XS and it fits like KRMA Aero Small. So I'd say it runs a bit large, not much though. :) Hope I helped:)

Yes you did!! Since i have an aero i can compare. Thank you so much:)) do you mind if I ask what color you have? :)

I have it in black, I dont know if its the color that Elena has or not though it looks exactly like it in the sun.

Thanks so much again! This was very helpful:)

Glad I could help! If you need anything else dont hesitate to ask! :)

Actually yes:p I'm pretty close to buying a black one also. Trying to decide between xs or s. do you have a picture you can send me of you with the jacket on? My email is raisin821@yahoo.com. ( I didn't see a pic of it on your lj)

Ha, I REALLY need to update my LJ! Im so lazy lol. Of course I'll take a picture when I get back from work!:)

Hey Kate! Did u get my message? ;)

Hello Nik! Yes I did but Im on my phone cant reply you. =( will wh I can:) thank you!

Oh no too late i wish i could have win that skirt. Grrrrreeeeezzzz :-))

:( If I see another one on Ebay I'll message the link to you.

:o What! it's just a little AE sweater people!...which quite frankly, doesn't even look that good on me.

OMG! I have this sweater and adore it, but I got it for 20 dollars from a lovely CS girl! As it should be! Why do people do this??

That factory outlet one is the cheaper re-release though isn't it? I'm fairly sure Elena's is the original which was thicker and has a different interior tag. I have both and the thicker version seems more accurate.

You're right, I just realized the interior tags are different. Everything else looks exact to me. :) I have one that I got from the AE Factory store and I love it! If someone thinks the one on Ebay is worth $100 more because it has the same interior tags and is slightly thicker, then they should go for it!

Sure! Cheaper options are great.

There are 3 of them on ebay :
