4 out of 5 starsThe back of the hair clip is a lot more worn down and rusted than the pictures showed. Kind of disappointed with the quality the description was misleading.

5 out of 5 starsIt’s been months, and I wear this almost daily. I’ve gotten an obscene amount of compliments. I only have one complaint- the wire stitching wasn’t sealed off that well, ended up melting parts of the stitching down with a hot iron because it was stabbing me every time I wore it.

1 out of 5 starsVery sad about this one, first thing that should of been noted on this dress were the extremely yellow stained armpits inside the dress, probably soon to show on the outside of dress, also should of noted the huge un-closeable slit in the front of the dress directly under the chest buttons that will lead to embarrassment on a windy day... for $125 I see value of about half the price this is very worn. Despite the patched hole I was aware of before purchase... not sure if I'll be returning I wish I could get a refund for this one

Payment
We here at Chick-A BOOM! Vintage hope that you love your vintage item(s) as much as we do. We are meticulous with our descriptions and measuring, so we do not accept returns do to the item not fitting you properly. We also do not allow rentals, so we do not ever do returns once the item has been paid for and the garment worn. PLEASE make sure you ask any and ALL questions before purchasing your vintage item. We do a very thorough job of reporting any character flaw of the vintage garments we list. Please compare all measurements to a garment that fits you well, including shoes, as we do NOT GIVE REFUNDS or ALLOW RETURNS. The measurements are of the GARMENT, not YOU. We ship ONLY by using the United States Postal Service and all packages will be shipped with a tracking number to ensure safe arrival. This is the SAFEST way to ship and while the cost may be a bit higher, it protects both the buyer and seller. It is also the quickest way to get you your beautiful garments. Thanks for understanding!
RESERVES & LAYAWAY-
Our prices are for extremely high quality, wearable garments. We hand-select each piece for uniqueness, design, quality, rareness and overall fabulousness. In saying that, we have a wonderful clientele who appreciate what we provide for them and often have people requesting the same garment for reserve and layaway. To be fair to our ever-growing and wonderful clients, we offer a first-come, first-serve reserve and layaway program that requires the following:
1. If you request the reserve, you absolutely MUST be 100% sure that you will be purchasing the item. We will reserve the item for 3 days maximum.
2. After 3 days on reserve, the garment must ether be paid for in full OR a layaway must be discussed and put into motion. If neither has happened, the garment will be taken off of reserve and sold to the next interested party. You will lose your right to reserve that item again.
3. Layaway will be granted for all items over $150.
4. If layaway is discussed and granted, 1/3 of the total of the garment and shipping must be paid for immediately. That amount is NON-REFUNDABLE. You will then have 15 days to complete the payment. If the payment is not received within 15 days from the initial first payment, the garment will be resold and the seller will keep the non-refundable 1st down-payment.
