As you know, vintage clothing has had a previous life and is almost never perfect. We do our very best to describe each item accurately and will always note the flaws that we find. Occasionally we will miss one and in that case you are welcome to return your item for a refund. The following is a condition chart that we have adapted to simplify your shopping experience.
Mint/Perfect |
RARE. No flaws. |
Excellent |
Minimal wear/ minor flaws which do not compromise the item. |
Very Good |
Noted minor flaws, easily repairable, wearable as purchased. |
Good |
Noted minor flaws, most likely repairable, wearable after repair. |
Fair |
Numerous noted flaws, some significant, possibly reparable/wearable. |
SIZING
Because sizing varies, our vintage evening dresses and other clothing is measured by inches, rather than the standard sizes used by modern vintage inspired dress. The best way to ensure a bridesmaid dress or other item will fit is to get your measurements
MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS
Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the bust and back.
Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of the waist.
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips.
Length: Measure from the top of your shoulder.
REMEMBER
We have measured the flapper or swing dress, not your body. One option is to measure a similar dress at home. If the measurements match, the item will probably fit.
