Please compare the measurements provided to a similar piece of clothing that fits well to ensure proper fit prior to purchase.
Actual measurements can vary from tag size. Shrinkage or stretching may have occurred since the original ‘new’ condition and happens often in previously worn clothing. Please do not rely solely on tag size, use the provided photo measurements for comparison with your own garments for best fit.
Pre-owned in good overall condition with normal wear for its age. There is a small stain on the collar and a thread pull “nub” on the back of the dress. (see pictures) Please review all photos for complete details and measurements. Does not appear to have been previously tailored. I take lots of pictures, both outside and inside of the garment. I take pictures of the zippers (in up and down position) to show they are working. I always check the buttons, snaps and pockets. I do try to mention anything I see that could be considered a flaw. But if I’ve missed something, please reach out to me and I’ll do my best to make it right.
Stored in a smoke free, pet free home.
I’m always happy to combine shipping, just email me to let me know.
I ship UPS: I am a disabled senior, and I live in a rural area that doesn’t receive US postal delivery or pick up. As I can no longer drive, I’ve chosen to have UPS be my shipping contractor. They are a little more pricey than USPS, but they will actually come to my home and pick up the packages. I do NOT make any money on shipping charges. However, I have seen some gross abuse of their pricing to the upper east coast area. If you notice a CRAZY shipping quote, please message me, I may be able to pivot in extreme cases and figure something else out.
