5 out of 5 starsThis dress was in excellent condition and was sent to me in very secure packaging. It looked identical to the photos on the Etsy listing, it was even a bit more beautiful in person, and fit accurately to the measurements. This dress exceeded all of my expectations and I cannot wait to get married in it :)!

Additional policies and FAQs
• A COURTESY GUIDE TO MEASURING YOURSELF •
Use a flexible cloth tape measure and measure yourself over the undergarments you plan to wear and NOT over your clothing. Keep the tape measure straight and level. Example: If you plan to wear a special type of bra or perhaps a girdle under the vintage garment, measure yourself while wearing these.
BUST: Measure over the fullest part of your bust while wearing a bra.
UNDERBUST / EMPIRE WAIST: Measure around the fullest part of your ribcage, about midway between your bust and waist.
WAIST: Measure around the smallest point of your waist where it naturally curves in on the side.
HIP: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks, keeping the tape measure straight and even. This is usually about 8"-9" below your waist.
SHOULDER TO WAIST: Measure from the top of your shoulder, where a normal shoulder seam would lie, down the front going over your bust to your waist.
SHOULDER WIDTH: Measure from the point where your shoulder begins
curving down into the arm, across your back, to the next shoulder point.
TOTAL LENGTH: Measure from the top of your shoulder, where a normal shoulder seam would lie, down the front going over your bust, to the point you want the garment to end.
• GARMENT MEASUREMENTS •
Below is my measuring procedure for merchandise in this shop. All measurements are provided in inches. Approximate sizes noted in the descriptions are a guideline and should not take precedent over a careful review of the detailed measurements provided.If you need a measurement taken in a different way than what my procedure describes, contact me before purchasing.
My measurements are taken on the outside of the garment, laid upon a smooth solid surface, with wrinkles/creases smoothed flat using a cloth tape measure. The garment must be buttoned or zipped up and not distorted.
BUST: Measured from outside edge of armpit seam to outside edge of next armpit seam x2.
WAIST: Smallest point of bodice where fabric curves inwards, measuring straight across from outside edge to outside edge x2.
HIP: Widest point below waist, measuring straight across from outside edge to outside edge x2.
TOTAL LENGTH: Middle point of shoulder seam to where the garment ends at bottom going straight down.
SHOULDER: Straight across the back, one shoulder seam to the next.
SLEEVE: Measured from the top of sleeve seam to the end of the sleeve.
SHOE INSOLES: Measured from the interior, heel to toe tip.
SHOE WIDTH: Measured at the ball's widest point, on the shoe's exterior sole.
