KAT’S BARGAIN BIN ITEM - READ THE FINE PRINT/RULES BEFORE ORDERING:
I have too many clothing items and clothing items are time-consuming to list. I have to take a lot of photos, make many measurements, and write a detailed description. By the time I am done, I have at least two hours of labor in each piece. (Even more if I have to wash and dry or iron.) If I want to get paid for my time, it is not feasible to list any clothing except items that are very expensive. Therefore, I was faced with a decision to make: 1) stop selling most clothing or 2) find a better way to sell clothing. Since I like the idea of recycling and think that older clothing is made better than the new stuff, I decided to try to find a better way. I created this shop section called KAT’S BARGAIN BIN. I have tagged all the items in this section with “KBB” so that you can find them easily by using the shop search box. The items listed in this section are being sold as-is. They will not be laundered, or dry cleaned, or rolled with a lint roller. If I see any damage, I will disclose it. However, be warned that I am only a human being and I will not be able to catch everything. I will only provide a few photos. The description will be minimal. Fiber content tags and laundering instruction tags will be photographed if available. SOME MEASUREMENTS will be given. However, the price will be reduced. So, you will be getting a bargain, but also taking a chance. If you purchase from this section, you must agree to this rule: DO NOT leave me a BAD REVIEW if the pieces don’t work out for you. Leave me a good review if you received your items on time. The items in KAT’S BARGAIN BIN are covered by my standard shop return policy, unless otherwise noted in the listing, so you might want to read that. I am going to try this out for a month or two and see if there is any interest. If people start writing to me asking for more photos, measurements, etc. then this will not work and I will have to discontinue this section. Cutting down on my listing time is the whole point. Please follow the rules or it will ruin it for everyone. If you are not in agreement with these terms, DO NOT purchase from this section. If you want a really great value, this is the place for you. MIX AND MATCH to get your order over $35 so that you can qualify to receive free shipping within the domestic U. S.

This beautiful vintage dress by ARGENTI (1980's boutique brand) is made of a beautiful bright orange 100% raw or noil silk. The orange noil silk, has a lovely, natural, slightly textured look and feel to it. It feels and looks more like linen. This is NOT the slippery charmeuse satin weave silk fabric, nor silk twill which has a diagonal pattern. The raw silk fabric is perfect for warm weather as it breathes and will keep you cool and dry. This dress has a traditional collar with wide lapels that cross, wrap-style at the front bodice. The waist opens and closes with a button and hook and eye. The shoulders have epaulets and the sleeves are short. The waist has an elastic band which is covered by the matching fabric covered belt. The skirt is pleated. This dress is tagged a US Size 6. The waist measurement is 27". The total length from shoulder to hem is 51". This dress is in excellent, pre-owned condition with no damage. NOTE: The color is closest to reality in Photo #6.
