Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION, LIQUIDITY, AND MANAGEMENT’S PLAN The Consolidated Financial Statements contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the auditor's report with respect to the Consolidated Financial Statements contains an explanatory paragraph regarding a going concern uncertainty. The Company has sustained cumulative net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $187,099,000 and incurred a net loss attributable to Bluefly, Inc. stockholders of $24,776,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company is currently in active discussions regarding a strategic transaction under the direction of a special committee consisting of independent members of the Board of Directors, together with the assistance of an independent financial advisor (“Proposed Strategic Transaction”). The Company expects that such transaction will be at a price substantially below the current market price of the Company’s common stock. We currently have sufficient funds to support our operations until the anticipated signing date of a definitive agreement regarding the Proposed Strategic Transaction, at which time we believe bridge financing will be available until the transaction can be consummated. Management believes that the Proposed Strategic Transaction, if and when consummated, will provide the necessary liquidity to eliminate the factors that resulted in the going concern qualification. If the Company is unable to complete the Proposed Strategic Transaction or an alternative strategic transaction, we will require additional financing from existing or third party investors to fund our operations. The Company has already implemented certain cost containment measures. In conjunction with seeking such financing, we would reduce our workforce, reduce overhead and otherwise streamline our operations, of which certain initiatives have already been implemented. The inability to raise additional financing would have a material adverse effect on our operations.
