Dress had previous spots, so it was hand laundered with care prior to my purchase. NOTABLE ISSUES: refer to last photo, and the zoom feature on photos for up close notable details and descriptions. Notables featured include: Some Tiny tiny spots. Some of the "netting" within the applique backing on the bodice has worn and is missing....but you really have to be right on top of it to realize it's missing. Some soiling inside the hem line, not visible when wearing (you have to lift the hemline to view). 1 bobble button is stained, 2 of the bobble buttons were replaced, so the size is just slightly off....(but the bustle bow helps to hide them well). Gown could use professional pressing. I only gave it a quick steam.....but it could use additional pressing if being worn for formal affair. Some of the applique and scalloped lace have a rough edge here and there. DETERMINE YOUR FIT PRIOR TO PURCHASING: 1) OUR MEASUREMENTS: In sewing, 'ease' is the amount of room a garment allows the wearer beyond the measurements of their actual body. I provide measurements of my items (un-stretched) for you, however, it is suggested to add ease for comfort. Fitting ease will allow you to be able to breathe, move your arms, bend your elbows, sit, walk, and even dance! Ease varies depending on what part of the body you are clothing, but generally it is between ½”-2”. If you want your garment to be a ‘pin-up’ tight fit, make sure it’s close to your own body measurements, adding 1 or 2 inches in the bust and hip areas. If you want it to fit loosely, add more room as needed. 2) YOUR MEASUREMENTS: We always suggest you use the measurements of your own body to help with the accuracy of how the garment will fit. If you don’t have a measuring tape, use a ruler to measure a similar garment that fits you well. Follow our measuring guide pictures to compare our sizing with your measurements. ABOUT VINTAGE: Please understand that vintage clothing and vintage fabric have age to it, and even when in excellent condition, they show wear. They are not new items. Even the most cared for vintage items of clothing is likely to have some wear and tear and vintage pieces can commonly have tiny spots/marks, fading/yellowing, or pin holes. I attempt to present all damage by describing and photographing it but sometimes little things get by me. If you are not happy with your purchase, please contact me right away after receiving your purchase to arrange for a return. Items are sourced from local estate auctions, and business liquidations. Items will have some wear as to be expected with used goods. Please read the description and look at pictures carefully as all items will be as described. Measurements are taken to the best of our ability, but there may be a 5-10% variation. Please remember that colors photograph and can display differently depending on the camera and/or the computer.
