*Please keep in mind that all of our items are true vintage and antique pieces, and are not reproductions. True vintage is special because of the artistry, craftsmanship and high quality fabrics. Unless otherwise noted, our items are sold in the condition we find them. Collectors understand that these items may require an investment in time to preserve and protect the condition in a way that best suits their preferences so we do not alter, clean, or mend our garments (unless otherwise noted). We use the following size chart as a general rule for determining size by today's standards. Please keep in mind that vintage and antique fabrics have no stretch or "give" like modern clothing and you may need to adjust your sizing to account for that.
VINTAGE CLOTHING CONDITION
GUIDE
Mint: As perfect and pristine as it was
originally. The garment may have never
been worn and tags may still be attached.
Near
Mint: Shows
only the slightest bit of wear on an otherwise perfect garment. This means it may have only been worn once or
twice.
Excellent: The garment is totally sound in structure and
appearance. Any wear is the result of having
been worn occasionally, and it is clear that the garment has been well cared
for and stored.
Very
Good: The
garment is wearable with some minor flaws. The flaws could be stains, loose
seams, a missing button, or a fallen hem, for example. It is often possible to take a garment found
in this condition and mend, alter, or specially treat stains to turn it into a
garment in excellent condition. Overall
the garment is good, and any flaw still standing does not prevent you from
wearing and enjoying it.
Good: The garment is wearable, but the dress is no
longer in pristine condition. In this
case, you normally could not achieve excellent condition even if repairs are
made. That said, often if you love a
piece, you will just accept the flaws.
These are often vintage clothes that were simply well loved and thus
well-worn in their day. Other times it
may be a case where the garment just wasn?t stored very well.
Poor: Multiple holes, tears, stains, etc. The garment is unwearable but good for pattern
making, inspiration and study.
SHIPPING
Combined Shipping: We are happy to combine shipping on any
items purchased within a 7 day period, so be sure to check out our store. Please do not pay until you are ready for us
to ship. eBay requires us to ship all items within 1 day of payment so, if you are still shopping and would like us to combine shipping, please do not pay until all of your auctions (within a 7 day period) have ended.
If you win more than one auction we will send out combined invoices the following morning.
International Buyers - Please Note:
Import duties, taxes & charges are not included in the item price or
shipping charges. These charges are the
buyer's responsibility. Please check
with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will
be prior to bidding/buying. These
charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or
when you pick the item up. Please do not confuse them for additional shipping
charges. We are unable to alter the price on the customs forms as it is a violation of eBay policy and also nullifies any insurance coverage.
