The measurements given are of the garment itself. For the best fit, measure a similar item from your wardrobe and compare the measurements. Be sure to give yourself some "ease" for movement. We recommend at least 1-2 inches. We do not refund for items that do not fit.

Returns are handled on a case by case basis. Please contact us within 3 days of receipt of your package with any concerns and/or problems so we can work out a solution.

We carefully examine each & every garment and detail any concerns. We include pictures of any concerns if possible so that you have a clear view of what you are buying. We disclose everything that we find however, we are human and may miss a loose thread, pick or a missing hook & eye.

Sometimes for fit purposes, we will clip garments on our mannequin but we will never distort the lines of the garment. Some pictures may be lightened to allow you to see all of the details. Any accessories shown in pictures or crinolines added for fullness to a dress are not included unless specifically stated in the listing.

Vintage clothing by definition is at least 20 years old and previously worn unless stated otherwise, it is not perfect. It has already lived a full life before it came into our possession. We carefully screen all the items for problems and disclose anything we find. Consider the items to have been exposed to smoke and/or pets or other allergens in their previous life. Undetected odors sometimes revive during the confinement of shipping. We recommend all vintage clothing be cleaned before wearing unless stated otherwise.
