LOVELY VINTAGE 1940 IVORY LACE FORMAL GOWN SIDE ZIPPER-CUT ON BIAS-NEEDS REPAIR

Description

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THIS GORGEOUS VINTAGE IVORY LACE FLOOR LENGTH FORMAL GOWN I AM SELLING FOR REPAIR AND RESTORATION.
THE GOWN HAS A PRETTY LACE RUFFLE AROUND THE NECKLINE, FITTED BODICE, PUFFY SHORT LACE SLEEVES,  SIDE ZIPPER CLOSURE AND SATIN
HANGER
LOOPS.   IT HAS A
FITTED BODICE AND VERY FULL SKIRT.  THE GOWN IS LINED WITH A LOVELY LIQUID SATIN LINING.  THERE ARE 2 SOFT GAUZE
TULLE
SKIRTS BETWEEN
THE LINING AND THE GORGEOUS LACE TOP SKIRT.  THE  SECOND LAYER HAS 2 RUFFLES AT THE HEM.
NO SIZE IS LISTED IN THE GOWN, SO ACCURATE BODY MEASUREMENTS MUST BE OBTAINED TO
COMPARE
WITH
ITS
MEASUREMENTS.  IT IS VERY SMALL  AS I WAS UNABLE TO FIT IT ON MY MANNEQUIN.  SHOULDER TO SHOULDER MEASURED 15 INCHES.  THE
BUST
MEASURES 27 INCHES.
THE
WAIST MEASURES
21 INCHES.
THE SLEEVES ARE 8  INCHES LONG.  THE GOWN
IS 64
INCHES LONG.  THE LACE TOP SKIRT
IS  52 INCHES LONG.
EBAY REQUIRES THAT WE HAVE OUR POLICIES CLEARLY LISTED.
MY CLOTHING SELLS AS IS.  NO RETURNS  -  NO REFUNDS.  BUYER MUST UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THIS PRIOR TO
PURCHASE.
HOWEVER, I WILL LIST ANY DEFECTS I SEE, SO THAT BUYER IS AWARE.
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, ACCURATE BODY MEASUREMENTS MUST BE TAKEN PRIOR TO BIDDING.  HOWEVER, DESPITE
MEASUREMENTS I CAN NOT GUARANTEE A PERFECT FIT. VINTAGE CLOTHING TENDS TO RUN SMALL.  IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA
TO ALLOW A LITTLE EXTRA ROOM FOR COMFORT AND EASE IN MOVEMENT.
VINTAGE ITEMS AND PRE-OWNED ITEMS SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO BE PERFECT, AS THEY HAVE HAD A PREVIOUS LIFE AND
ARE DECADES OLD.  THIS
GOWN NEEDS SOME RESTORATION AND REPAIR.   THERE ARE SEVERAL HOLES IN THE LACE ON THE BODICE AND TOP SKIRT
THAT ARE VISIBLE UPON CLOSE INSPECTION.  THE SATIN LINING DOES MASK THEM SOMEWHAT.   THERE ARE HOLES ON THE
TULLE SKIRTS AND ON A COUPLE OF SECTIONS ON THE SATIN LINING AND A REPAIR.   THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE TULLE SKIRTS ARE SHREDDED, AND
THE TOP RUFFLE ON THE FIRST TULLE SKIRT HAS COME LOOSE IN A COUPLE OF PLACES THAT CAN EASILY BE STITCHED.  THE TOP LACE SKIRT IS
LONG ENOUGH SO THAT THE 2 TULLE LAYERS COULD BE CUT OFF, HIDING THE HOLES IF BUYER CHOOSES NOT TO REPAIR THEM.  .THERE IS
YELLOWING AND
TEARS UNDER THE ARMS.  THE ORIGINAL ZIPPER HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH A  MODERN NYLON ZIPPER, AND SOME REPAIRS HAD
BEEN MADE UNDER
THE ARMS.   PLEASE REFER TO THE PHOTOS.
SINCE MY ITEMS SELL AS IS, PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE DESCRIPTION, EXAMINE THE PHOTOGRAPHS CAREFULLY, AND ASK
ANY QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING. IT IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE THAT I MAY HAVE OVERLOOKED SOME SMALL DETAIL, BUT I TRY MY
BEST TO GIVE COMPLETE, HONEST AND ACCURATE DESCRIPTIONS AND A LOT OF PHOTOS.
MY RETURN POLICY IS LIMITED TO REFUNDS ONLY IF I HAVE MADE AN ERROR IN MY LISTING. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN NOT
ACCEPT
A RETURN FOR ANY AGE RELATED SCENT, SOMETHING I DID NOT NOTICE, ILL FIT, DESPITE  OBTAINING MEASUREMENTS,
BUYER'S REMORSE, CHANGING YOUR MIND OR FOR ANY PROBLEMS BEYOND MY CONTROL, SUCH AS PROBLEMS OCCURRING
DURING SHIPPING. INSURANCE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT.
IF I HAVE MISLED YOU IN MY DESCRIPTION, PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE CONTACTING E-BAY, SO THAT WE CAN
TRY TO WORK THINGS OUT BETWEEN US. I GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO AVOID PROBLEMS AND MAKE MY BUYERS HAPPY BY
GIVING A LOT OF INFORMATION IN MY LISTINGS. . IT IS IMPORTANT THAT MY BUYERS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE PURCHASING AND
UNDERSTAND MY RETURN POLICY..... THAT MY ITEMS SELL AS IS..
