Guide to Condition of Vintage Clothing:
Mint: Beautiful and perfect. Possibly never worn.
Excellent: Little visible wear, lightly worn.
Very Good: Normal wear for the age of the garment.
Good: A few obvious visible flaws. Garment construction is sound and wearable.

Vintage garments have been worn and loved…most often discovered carefully stored away in an out of the way closet for many years. It is not uncommon for garments to show some signs of wear. I carefully inspect each garment to make sure that you get the most accurate and informed description possible. When needed garments are cleaned and mended. Sometimes upon close inspection previous alterations are visible. I try to restore the garment to its original form when possible. Repairs are listed in the garment description. All items are sold as is – so please ask any necessary questions prior to purchasing. If a flaw accidentally escapes my inspection, please let me know as soon as possible (and before leaving feedback!) and I will be happy to help remedy the situation. My wish is that you love your vintage garment as much as its original owner!
