OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE YOU FEEL AS SPECIAL AND BEAUTIFUL AS THE LINGERIE WE SELL AT VANITIESFAIR.

After 20 plus years as a full-time fashion editor and freelance costumer/stylist for theater and film in NYC, I couldn’t resist the urge to share my “soft spot” for vintage lingerie. VanitiesFair was born of a passion for the exquisite fabrics, attention to detail and skilled craftsmanship lavished upon the lingerie of bygone eras and began as a temporary selling venue for the extensive collection I'd amassed over the years, blossoming into a full time love affair. In addition to operating VanitiesFair as a solo project, I also collaborate with one of the premiere vintage lingerie dealers in NYC. With over 30 years experience, she has supplied wardrobe for major films, TV and theater projects as well as inspirational pieces for fashion houses and a roster of private clients.
VanitiesFair’s goal is to supply the discriminating collector and designer with thoughtfully edited and researched selections in the best condition possible. We diligently scour the market for exceptional items in pristine, wearable condition and those pieces in need of a little TLC are lovingly restored to their former glory using the same techniques employed by the original technicians.
Buying vintage on line can be a daunting task (Believe me, we’ve been burned more than once!) and VanitiesFair takes great pride in making your shopping experience as stress free and enjoyable as possible by offering only those items we feel are worthy of our customer’s impeccable taste and high quality standards.
My hope is that our expertise in sourcing and selling, wealth of knowledge in the worlds of fashion and costuming, access to the unlimited resources available in the New York metropolitan area and an in-depth understanding of garment construction and restoration will inspire our customers to shop with confidence.

Returns and exchange details
MONEY BACK GUARANTEE!
Buyer has 14 days to return item for the full selling price of merchandise only. Original shipping costs are not included in the refund price.
Buyer is responsible for return shipping.
Please note that the items I sell are vintage. I describe to the best of my ability through text and photos any flaws and imperfections in the items I offer for sale. These items have had a previous life and while I like to think they were all loved and gently used they are not new and by nature some signs of use and age are to be expected. Please also take into consideration all measurements provided and feel free to contact me if you need any additional sizing information. I try to be as accommodating as possible when accepting returns but only if the buyer has reason to believe the item was misrepresented in my listing. Customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance and I'm willing to work with you if you're unhappy in any way with a purchase you make from VANITIES FAIR.
Payment
I accept credit card payments, PayPal and Etsy Gift Cards through Etsy direct checkout.
Full payment is expected at time of purchase.
If you have any questions or concerns about making payments via layaway, please contact me ASAP.

If you live in the NYC area and would prefer to pick up or send a messenger for your purchase, I'm happy to make those arrangements. Please contact me via ETSY convos.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
All international packages ship via USPS FIRST CLASS if your purchase meets the criteria (under 4 lbs. in weight and less than $400.00 in cost). This is the least expensive international shipping option supported by ETSY.
If your purchase does not fulfill the requirements for USPS FIRST CLASS or you'd like to request an alternate shipping option, please contact me prior to making payment and I will adjust your invoice accordingly. Pricing may vary.
Combined shipping is available at no additional charge. All items will be shipped in one package.
Estimated delivery times vary by country.
Please note that any taxes or duties your customs office might charge on packages coming from the USA are your responsibility as the buyer. These fees are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
Items will be sent with a proforma that reflects the actual cost to you. Please don't ask us to under value your purchase or list as a gift. This is against the law and could impact our ability to ship internationally.
At this time, I'm not shipping to the following international locations:
Brazil, Italy and Russia.
Thanks for your understanding and welcome, international buyers!
Additional policies and FAQs
All our vintage lingerie items are gently hand washed in IVORY soap or organically dry cleaned to assure they arrive to you fresh and ready to wear or display. Each and every item is pressed by hand and examined for flaws before listing. We make a point to include this information in all listings via photos or text so please make sure to read the listing info and examine all photos carefully before making a purchase. If you purchase from VANITIES FAIR, you will be treated with respect and honesty. All purchases will be shipped to you quickly and carefully wrapped in tissue. Although we prefer to ship in boxes, most of the items sold at VANITIES FAIR will easily ship in envelopes and will be sent to you that way in order to lower your shipping costs. If you prefer a box, please let me know and I'll adjust postage accordingly. THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY AND ENJOY YOUR STAY!
