 Please note  "MAXIMUM" GOWN'S measurements. Listed measurements are NOT the person's. Allow at least 1-2" extra for comfort.

ADVISE:  Take a similar garment that fits you well & compare measurements laying flat.  S&H fees nonrefundable for sizing misjudgements.

Keep in mind  if wearing a Victorian Corset will deduct some space depending on how tight you lace. If you are wearing a Victorian corset, you should take your measurements with corset on when sizing a gown.  Please note all measurements are taken from the outside of garment, laying flat, then doubled. Leave room,at least an inch +, for comfort & underpinnings.

Check these MAXIMUM measurements closely:   Taken laying flat, from outside garment, then doubled.

Natural Waist  24-25"maximum  Taken 7.5" below arm hole at side seam, across & doubled

Length waist to hem....app. 44"  Gown can be  invisibly shortened by folding the underskirt over & sewing above the lace tiers if need less length

Please note above measurements closely!!!!!

DISCLAIMER:  Please read carefully prior to making purchase.

Most all vintage/pre-owned/ antique apparel will have some signs of wear/storage.  Most of my items come from estate sales, auctions, vintage shops, etc. I do not know their history. Items should be cleaned prior to wear.  I try my best to list all noticeable flaws or needed repairs.  I can not be responsible for any pre-owned odors, dander or dust, if any.  If you have allergies & do not intend on cleaning the item, do not bid.  Item is nonrefundable for any claims of allergies.  If you expect a pre-owned/vintage or antique item to look brand new from store, please do not purchase.

EChecks & bank cards take up to 5 business days to clear PayPal.  Credit cards clear immediately with PayPal. Due to the economy, I have returned to my retired nursing profression & can no longer ship the day of payment. Now I ship Priority within 2 business days of cleared payment, if not sooner. Priority generally arrives within 2-3 business days in the continental USA & 6-14 business days internationally, including Alaska & Hawaii after shipment.  Please take ALL these time factors, which are out of my control, in mind when making payment choices on invoice & leaving feedback.

*****!!!!******  Please note, I run this business entirely by myself & I work another job to make ends meet. I strive to make you a 100% satisfied, return customer who will leave me all positive feedback & top 5 star ratings, so please communicate any concerns if not completely satisfied with purchase.  To continue to sell on eBay, sellers are "REQUIRED" to have all 5 star ratings & positive feedback.  I work hard to provide good accurate pics,  detailed descriptions & shipping information.  Occasionally, I may "unintentionally" overlook something as I am human.  With good communication there should be no reason for for negative feedback or DSR scores lower than all 5's even if item is returned. My return policy is more than fair & specifically stated. Most sellers of vintage/pre-owned items do not take returns.  My communication is excellent.  I answer all emails within 24 hours & notify you by email when your item has been shipped.   My shipping times are frankly stated in the listing. I charge a small fee for handling to cover gas to the post office & packing supplies.  I take all packages to the post office & your shipping fee is on the package, not hidden in a prepaid label. I refund any significant difference in shipping once package has been mailed & email you of the credit.  Your kind & honest consideration in this very important feedback issue is truly appreciated. *****!!!****

International wins ship Priority only, with insurance included in  the calculated S&H fee on the listing.  Additional fees, as customs, may apply in your country which are not included in this listings' USPS S&H fee.  Please contact your local "Customs" to determine their fees.
