High waisted surplice halter bodice trimmed in lace,  with straps that tie behind neck; waistline panel with horizontal pintucks, full skirt with doubled pleats; side zip, fully lined in cotton.  

Labeled size 8; halter fits cup sizes A-B, waist 31", hips measured from lining 49", skirt length 23".

Coordinating Items in other listings:  Yes, please scroll through close or adjacent auctions for nicely coordinated pieces.

THANK YOU FOR VIEWING MY AUCTION. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

SPOTS MAY APPEAR ON PHOTOS DUE TO CAMERA FLASH.  Any actual stains or damages on item will be noted in description.

PAYMENTS ARE DUE 2 DAYS FROM AUCTION CLOSE.  A nonpaying buyer dispute will open automatically after the second day unless I am contacted through eBay messages before then.  Some Buy It Now purchases may require immediate payment.

I SHIP INTERNATIONALLY  AT ACTUAL COST CALCULATED BY WEIGHT - Buyers Are Responsible for Customs Duties or Any Other Fees.  ITEMS WITH BUY-IT-NOW  OR END OF AUCTION  VALUE OF $50 OR MORE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE SHIPPED PRIORITY MAIL; ITEMS BELOW $50 ARE SHIPPED FIRST CLASS BY DEFAULT UNLESS THE BUYER CONTACTS ME WITH A REQUEST FOR PRIORITY MAIL BEFORE PAYING.

I GLADLY COMBINE ITEMS AND CALCULATE THE LOWEST RATE TO SAVE YOU MONEY – this applies to items won within a one-week auction cycle.  If items are won beyond that amount of time, payment for all is due immediately after the last auction.   

 CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR  COORDINATING CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES:

For your shopping convenience I try to have coordinating items, in the same size range, listed concurrently.  I also photograph separates with appropriate, great-looking pieces, so be sure to look at my other listings for those well-matched items.  I select all items based on criteria of stylishness and quality; I admire everything I offer and you'll note that  items range from the classically elegant to wildly funky - even vintage.  I have something for every body!  

      

Ö        I offer authentic, high-quality items – mostly of natural materials, and  surprisingly low starting prices. 

Ö        I absolutely do not sell clothing items which exhibit much wear (with the possible exception of vintage items). 

Ö       No fakes here, either – or undisclosed issues.

Ö       I use USPS Priority shipping for a number of reasons.  I do not charge extra for packing  materials (which are free with priority) or delivery confirmation.  Very heavy or bulky items may be shipped parcel post.  I will pack your items safely,  yet  practically, in order to save you  money.  Please note that Tyvek envelopes are cheaper to mail and more durable than most boxes.

Ö       I calculate combined shipping on an individual basis for best rates.  See “Multiple Items/Combined Shipping” below.

Ö       International bidders welcome – please check with me regarding postage. Although I have experienced only one problem in several years of shipping internationally, your package may not be insurable or trackable.  Sorry, but I cannot be held responsible for loss, damage, or duration of transit.  Buyers responsible for any customs fees, taxes, duties levied by their countrys' importation laws. 

 

A FEW MORE COMMENTS TO HELP US BOTH:

 

             Contacting Me   I welcome contacts through the eBay site only.  I do not view my personal email for eBay business.

 

             Ending Auctions   Please do not ask me to end my auctions early.  If I do not offer a BIN option,  assume that I am hoping to make more money than my starting price and am willing to wait out the auction, although I may entertain requests to add Buy It Now to a listing (see below).  I've recently become aware that eBay is now allowing this circumvention of typical auction rules, which seems particularly rash unless they are trying to discourage auction-style transactions altogether.  (To begin with, the practice is redundant  in view of the fact that sellers who want  to sell outright can always add BIN or Best Offer).  Moreover, as a seller, I can see how many other people are watching my items and I will not disappoint potential bidders by pulling auctions.  This has happened to me and I find it extremely unfair and contrary to the point of selling via auction, if not unethical. 

 

            Buy It Now and Other Options    I may be persuaded to add a BIN option to my listing but, if so, the price will usually be at least 50%-100% more than the auction start price and I will expect the person making the request to uphold his/her end of the deal by purchasing the item.  Once in a while I have sales where I allow best offers and will be clearly stated in the listings.  My start prices are well-considered,  so I never accept offers below this minimum amount.

           

             Payment via eCheck     Domestic (USA) bidders intending to pay via eCheck must initiate payment within 24 hours of winning my auctions.  If check takes longer than 7 days to clear and payment was not initiated within the first 24 hours of auction end, the payment  will be considered late, item forfeited, and due action taken.   Sorry, but no international echecks accepted.

 

             Fit   As we all  know, sizing is not standard and labels can be entirely misleading- even careful measuring does not account fully for how items will fit.  While I cannot actually guarantee the fit of any clothing or accessory I can certainly provide insights regarding fit or sizing of most women’s clothing items (as well as shoes ranging between 5.5 and 7.5).  I will add any pertinent comments and measurements to the  listing description.

 

            My Fault   My second-hand merchandise is generally in “like new” condition.  However, even though I inspect each piece, oversights have inevitably occurred, albeit rarely.  I appreciate your understanding in such situations; contact me and I will quickly rectify the problem.

 

             Your Fault   I work hard to please my wonderful and valued customers.  However, FOR THE FEW BAD APPLES OUT THERE – If you try to defraud me through my returns policy, or leave negative or neutral feedback without contacting me to negotiate a resolution to the issue, I will block you from bidding on my auctions.

 

             Multiple Items/Combined Shipping   Please do not pay individually for items that you want me to combine for shipping, otherwise I will not be able to offer a combined postage rate at a substantial savings to you.  I will combine multiple items won within one week - which is why I strive to offer coordinating items in concurrent listings.  When the last auction that you are bidding on has ended, please let me know by clicking “Request Invoice” or sending me an eBay message.  Allow me a little time to repack and weigh your items, then I will send you an invoice for the total amount.  My payment timeframe (one week for established eBayers, 24 hours for new members) goes into effect when I send the combined invoice.

 

            When I Ship   I try to ship within 2-3 days after receiving payment (often sooner).  Again, I ask for your indulgence and patience if it takes me a bit longer, as I’m a one-person operation and am juggling college at the same time.  If you are in a real rush for an item, please let me know immediately upon winning and paying for the item.

 

 

Selling second-hand clothing on eBay is very time-consuming relative to profit, but

I BELIEVE IN THE CONCEPT OF RECYCLING  - LIVING  SMART AND GREEN! 

                                                                  THANK YOU FOR VIEWING MY LISTING.   

 

HAVE A GREAT TIME SHOPPING MY AUCTIONS AND GOOD

LUCK BIDDING!
