AS MENTIONED ABOVE, ACCURATE BODY MEASUREMENTS MUST BE TAKEN PRIOR TO BIDDING, ESPECIALLY WHEN BUYINGVINTAGE CLOTHING. DESPITE OBTAINING MEASUREMENTS, I CAN NOT GUARANTEE A PERFECT FIT. VINTAGE CLOTHING TENDS TORUN SMALL. IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO ALLOW A LITTLE EXTRA ROOM FOR COMFORT AND EASE IN MOVEMENT. E-BAY REQUIRES THAT WE HAVE OUR POLICIES CLEARLY POSTED. MY ITEMS SELL AS IS - NO RETURNS - NO REFUNDS. BUYER MUST UNDERSTAND THIS PRIOR TO PURCHASING AND AGREE TOTHIS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. HOWEVER, I WILL LIST ANY DEFECTS I SEE IN MY DESCRIPTIONS, SO THAT BUYER IS AWARE.SINCE MY ITEMS SELL AS IS, PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE DESCRIPTION, EXAMINE THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND ASK QUESTIONSPRIOR TO PURCHASING. PRE-OWNED AND VINTAGE ITEMS SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO BE PERFECT, AS THEY HAVE HAD A PAST LIFE. THIS BEAUTIFUL DRESS APPEARS TO BE IN NICE CONDITION FOR ITS AGE. IT HAS SOME TINY PIN HOLES ON THE SHEER BLACK LINING UNDER THE LACE TOP, AND SOMEFADING ON THE TOP OF THE SHOULDERS FROM OVERHEAD LIGHTING. THE PULL ON THE ZIPPER IS MISSING, BUT THE ZIPPER WORKS. PLEASE REFER TO THE PHOTOS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT I MAY HAVE OVERLOOKED SOMETHING, BUT I TRY MY BEST TO GIVE COMPLETE, HONEST AND ACCURATE DESCRIPTIONS, AS WELL AS PROVIDE A LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS. I HAVE AN EXCELLENT REPUTATION, AND THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM PREVIOUS BUYERS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. IT IS SELDOM THAT I HAVE A DISSATISFIED BUYER. MY RETURN POLICY IS LIMITED TO REFUNDS ONLY IF I HAVE MADE AN ERROR IN MY DESCRIPTION.... STATING SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SO. UNFORTUNATELY, I AM UNABLE TO ACCEPT A RETURN FOR ANYTHING ELSE, SOMETHING I DID NOT SEE OR SMELL, ILL FIT, DESPITE OBTAINING MEASUREMENTS, BUYER'S REMORSE, CHANGING YOUR MIND OR PROBLEMS BEYOND MY CONTROL, SUCH AS PROBLEMS OCCURRING DURING SHIPPING. INSURANCE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT. OCCASIONALLY, THERE IS AN AGERELATED SCENT SOMETIMES FOUND IN VINTAGE CLOTHING. I WILL MENTION THIS IF I DETECT IT, BUT I AM SURE THAT BUYER WILL HAVE ITEMS CLEANED ANYWAY PRIOR TO WEARING THEM, SO IT WOULD BE REMOVED THEN. IF I HAVE MISLED YOU IN MY DESCRIPTION, I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY, PRIOR TO REPORTING TO E-BAY,SO THAT WE CAN TRY TO WORK THINGS OUT BETWEEN US.
