5 out of 5 starsThe dress was lovelier than I expected! Pleasantly surprised by mother of pearl buttons on the back of the collar.

5 out of 5 starsWow! As a midsized (women’s 10-14) person, I have a hard time finding high quality vintage basics to build my wardrobe. The 3 pieces I bought from Flying Apple were well made and the measurements were as described. Shipping was quick and the personal note from the seller was a sweet touch. I’ll definitely be a return customer.

5 out of 5 starsAs with a lot of online clothing: you never know what you get until it arrives. It had previously been washed so the neck was pretty small and the overall fit was off. I kept it due to the material in hopes to alter it to fit.

Frequently asked questions
Sizing and Condition Details
All of our items are pre-loved authentic vintage, and you will receive the exact item as shown in the photos.
We give a fit estimate for every item we list, but please double check the measurements to ensure it will fit you. The best way to tell if an item will fit properly is to compare the given measurements to a garment you already own. Vintage sizing varies from modern, so often the size on the tag is not accurate for today.
Everything we sell is 20+ years old has been worn before, so minor signs of age and wear is to be expected. Items are rated with the following condition grades: mint, excellent, very good, good, fair, distressed, and costume grade. Any flaws besides general wear including stains, tears, or holes will be noted.
Shipping Prices
We ship worldwide via USPS. Shipping prices are based on weight, and will be automatically discounted for orders with multiple items.
US orders: Items under one pound are shipped via First Class Mail, and you have the option to upgrade to Priority at checkout, which takes 1-3 business days, or Express which takes 1-2 business days. Orders over one pound will automatically ship Priority in the U.S.
Etsy's policy states that once a package is marked as delivered by the mail carrier, we as the seller are no longer responsible for it in cases of theft or loss. If you are concerned about the possibility of mail theft, please request Signature Confirmation for your order ($2).
See Shipping Policies section below for all our policies.
Returns
To best ensure that you are happy with your item, we ask that you read through the measurements and condition notes before making your purchase. However, if it doesn't work out, we do accept returns for store credit if we are contacted and the item is sent back in its original condition within 7 days of delivery. The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs, and the store credit amount issued is for the item price only minus a $7 restocking fee. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.
If you feel that an item has been misrepresented, please contact us immediately so we can work out a solution.
What does "light general wear" mean?
Some items we note as having "light general wear." This means that the item shows normal signs of age and wear (ie. a very faint spot or smaller than a pinpoint hole), barely visible when worn.

How are the garments measured?
Our measurements are taken with the item lying flat, and the number is doubled for the chest, waist, and hips to get the measurement of it all the way around.
The shoulder to shoulder measurement is taken from seam to seam if the garment has shoulder seams.
