*Please note -- modern size, if given, is an APPROXIMATE guess on our part.  For perfect fit, we have given you the measurements of the dress itself, taken flat with a flexible measuring tape and then doubled.
You MUST be smaller than the dress's measurements and allow room (at least 1" is recommended) for give and the kind of fit you desire.
We do not allow returns and/or refunds based on fit.
Try measuring a similar dress you own, and compare.

Condition -
This 50+ year old vintage dress is in Excellent+ condition.

Presents beautifully, very wearable and structurally sound.  Jet black, unfaded, and overall pristine.  Might be the tinest touch of ironing shine to the dress bodice, but if so it's extremely minor.

Important details: Our garments are estate-fresh; any final cleaning and pressing is the responsibility of the buyer.  Colors may vary from monitor to monitor, so if exact color is a concern to you, PLEASE e-mail us for further clarification before bidding.  Remember, vintage by its very definition is NOT new -- our dresses date from between 25 to 60 years in age, and they have long and interesting histories.  Unless indicated, they are previously worn and will show the minor wear indicative of their age, but we carefully note any noticeable or detracting flaws or issues so you can make an informed purchase.  Although our studio is 100% smoke- and pet-free, we cannot make any guarantee regarding a garment's past storage conditions.  We are always happy to provide more information, measurements, and history about any item -- just e-mail us.
