Please read the description and measurements carefully before bidding as I cannot do returns if the item does not fit. Refunds will be issued if the item is grossly misrepresented or has damage or a flaw that I may have missed. I have no issues combining postage up to 2kg for UK buyers - please ask before sending payment and I can edit any invoices. Please email if you want anything signed for or next day delivery.

I am a private seller and am just reducing my own collection – many things are not worn so I have to let go of some of them! I will gradually be listing many items over the next few months. I also sell some items for my sister who has moved house and cleared out a lot of clothing & shoes etc. Some of my collection is genuine 1940s, 1950s and some 1960s clothing and accessories –the rest of it is repro such as : Stop Staring, Vivien of Holloway, Bettie Page Clothing, Collectif, Freddies of Pinewood, Rocket Originals etc etc I will do my best with eras and descriptions but feel free to contact me if you need to know more about any listings. Sizes are generally 12s, 14s and 16s depending when I bought! Or vintage sizes which do not really compare to modern sizing. The style of items is generally Rockabilly, Swing, Retro, Pin Up, Burlesque suitable for Hemsby, Rockabilly Rave, Rhythm Riot, VLV etc Most of the shoes are UK size 6 (US 8 Eur 39). Some items are contemporary but I felt looked retro. This will be clearly labelled in any description.
Some items if shown on the mannequin will be pinned or adjusted to best show the shape and style – the mannequin is a size 12-14 so I have to do some pinning. If shown with a petticoat or accessories these will not be included in the sale but may be listed separately. Any shadows or ‘spotting’ will probably be from my camera lens – true flaws will be described.
Many of the items can be 50-60 years old – where I can I have laundered items where I have been cautious I have not – again this will be stated. Flaws and condition of items will be clearly stated. Some items have been stored upstairs so some do retain a musty old vintage smell – but everything is coming from a smoke free house. I have cats but they are not allowed in the attic! But if this worries you then do not bid as I cannot prevent a stray hair going amiss when I list/package items but I do my best to send out items in the very best of condition and laundered. Some of my collection has been purchased from the USA and indeed some items are ‘deadstock’ and retain original shop tags/labels! Some items will have creasing from overpacked storage rails– this is why I am selling – too much duplication!
At times I may have to use recycled packaging if I do not have an appropriate sized mail pouch. Especially for shoes where I no longer have the original box.
