BNWT SASS & BIDE "DOES HAPPINESS COUNT" BEADED SILK TOP

*~Welcome to The Lady of Swan Lake's Ultimate Designer Sale!~*

Hello my lovelies!!!

I am having a massive designer sale, things I have collected over the last couple of years, most of which is brand new! My shopping addiction has filled my wardrobe, and I'm now focused on fabulous clothes for my two girls, so a tonne of my fabulous fashion finds will be auctioned over the next few months, including limited edition designer pieces from Sass & Bide, W*llow, J*gsaw, W*tchery and many others! I will be starting most at the absolute BARGAIN BASEMENT price of 99 cents, so make sure to add me to your favourites list!

If you haven’t had a transaction with me before, welcome to my auctions!! (if you’re a returning customer – welcome back!!) Please feel assured that my 4000+  positive feedback is a reflection of my commitment to a positive Ebay experience. There are many sellers with very dodgy feedback out there – exercise your right to choose and refuse to deal with anyone less than 99% perfect!!

This HEAVENLY PIECE is one of my favourite ever pieces by Sass & Bide!

It is the "DOES HAPPINESS COUNT" SILK BEADED TOP IN "OLD ROSE"! It features the most gorgeous arrowneck styling and is heavily beaded with sparkly GOLD, BRONZE & SILVER SEQUINS and bugle beads at the neckline and hem!

This piece was famously worn by both Nic*ole R*tchie and Pa*ris H*lton, and was one of the HERO pieces from Sass & Bide's amazing "LOVE, HOPE & MADNESS" collection! It is incredibly rare to find one of these tops in BRAND NEW WITH TAGS condition now!

Absolutely perfect over BLACK RATS with heels, this piece is a highly sought after collector's item!

This piece is BRAND NEW WITH TAGS and retailed in store for AUD $450!

Size tag says EURO 38/US 2 which usually equates to an AUS 8. The Silk has several layers and a bit of give, and so in my opinion could also suit an AUS Size 10.

Please check measurements below:

Bust: 88cm unstretched

Waist: 76cm unstretched

Hip: 98cm unstretched.

The only minor flaw I could find is a small spot on the silk in one of the folds near the sequinned neckline, and a couple of stitches unpicked on the inside of one of the straps, but these could easily be fixed. I only note for the sake of completeness as these are small issues and otherwise the top looks incredible!

The Boring Bit (aka the Terms of Sale!)

During the auction:

*I will attempt to answer all questions within 24 hours. Mostly I answer a lot quicker than that! However, please allow me a reasonable timeframe before the auction ends to answer your questions. I have two small children and may not always be able to get to the computer to answer questions asked if you allow me only a couple of hours.

*I generally provide measurements as part of the listing and I am more than happy to provide more detailed measurements upon request. It is your responsibility to check the measurements provided against yourself to ensure fit. I cannot guess if an item will fit you.

*If you have any questions about the item or description, you should clarify these with me before bidding. I will happily provide postage quotes to international buyers – please email me!

*Bidders with zero feedback are absolutely welcome. However, you must contact me before you bid with your details so I can be confident you understand my auction terms. Bids from zero feedbackers who do not contact me will be cancelled.

*Due to family circumstances I am unable to offer pickups.

*I am happy to combine postage on items purchased within a 7 day period.

After the auction ends:

*If you are the winning bidder, I will endeavour to contact you within 24 hours. It’s also your responsibility to contact me. You must do this within 3 days of the auction ending to arrange payment and finalise postage options.

*Payment must be made in full within 7 days unless you have made special arrangements with me before the auction ends. If I haven’t had contact or payment from you within 7 days, I will begin Non-Paying bidder procedures. I will relist the item if payment is not made in 7 days.

*If you win an auction and you are outside Australia, please do not complete checkout! I will invoice you once we have finalized postage options.

Payment:

*I accept PAYPAL and Direct Debit/Deposit from Australian Buyers.

*I accept PAYPAL from International winning bidders.

Postage:

*Postage prices quoted within the auction are for Express Post within Australia. I am more than happy to arrange Express Platinum and Registered/Insured Postage within Australia upon request. This will incur extra fees as charged by Australia Post. I am more than happy to post via Regular Post if payment is made by direct deposit.

*For International buyers I offer EMS International Courier, and Registered Airmail (fully insured). It is a requirement of my auctions that ALL items sent out of Australia be fully insured. This is for your protection and mine. International buyers are solely responsible for any and all customs duties charged at point of entry to your country. For any country that refuses to accept Insured airmail packages, the ONLY method of shipping available is EMS Courier (Canada, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Mexico).

*I attempt to ship out items within 24 hours of payment being received and this occurs 99% of the time.

*I will do everything in my power to chase up parcels lost or delayed in the post, but I cannot consider refunding unless registered or insured post is purchased.

Returns etc:

*I am on Ebay purely for fun – I don’t do it for a living! Lord knows I don’t make anywhere near enough money out of it for that. Therefore I am unable to offer returns for any other reason other than the fact that I send you the wrong item. Should that occur (and it hasn’t had to yet!) I will refund you upon the safe receipt of the item in the condition it was sent to you in. Please be aware that auction sales are not covered by any State or Federal “returns” legislation and therefore there are no refund “rights” with Ebay sales.

*If you receive an item and (heaven forbid) you are unhappy with it – please contact me, I’m not unreasonable! However if you leave negative or neutral feedback without attempting to resolve the issue, I will not negotiate further.

*If the item does not fit you or does not suit for any other reason, please feel free to relist the item to recoup your cost. If you ask beforehand, I will even let you use my photos!

Last Bits!

*Where I list brand names in the item titles, the items are all authentic, so please don’t email me asking “is this authentic?” If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have the brand name there. My feedback should tell you how reliable I am about the authenticity of the items I sell. If I list an item as “Brand New with Tags” or “Brand New without Tags” – it is exactly that. Not worn and never worn. If there are any faults in an item, they will be outlined in the item description.

*Buyers, please make sure to check the feedback of sellers who sell in the same category as me before you purchase elsewhere. There are a number of sellers in Australian Designer clothing categories with extremely dodgy feedback. Anything less that 99% perfect is not good enough!
