Description
All tissue paper, gift boxes, gift paper, seals, cards, mailers, ribbon, charms, jewelry boxes, artificial flowers & all other decorations for packaging & mailing are NEW which I purchase & have been doing so for 24-1/2 years. I do not like to use packing material that is not new as I do not know where it has been & how it has been stored. The only thing I recycle are cardboard boxes for large orders. Original Price $599.99 A beautiful vintage Laura Ashley shades of aqua & purple cotton very full dress. Scoop neckline, gored full skirt, puff sleeves with a band at the end, comes to a "V" below the waist, side zipper, beautiful low "V" back with large bow & pocket in seam. Wonderful fabric. I did not look at the care tag & washed the dress in the machine & then put it in the dryer. It came out beautifully with not one wrinkle! I just looked at the care tag now & it says to hand wash but I washed it in the machine & it came out without a problem. Perfect for a garden party, a tea, church or a date! By: Laura Ashley - Made in Great Britain Size: THIS DRESS IS FOR A SMALL PERSON - The tag says USA Size 8 but it is that that large. It fit my Size 6 mannequin & I do not think it would fit larger so go by the mannequin's size & leave a few inches for movement. Here are the measurement of my Size 6 mannequin: Bust 34.2 Waist: 25.2 Hips: 35.7 (you should be a few inches smaller than these measurements) Approximate Measurements - This means the measurements of the item listed - NOT OF YOUR OWN FIGURE. You must be a few inches smaller than the measurements shown. Bust: 33 - maybe 34 stretched but leave some room for movement Waist: 26 Length: 46 - 47 Fabric: 100% Cotton - beautiful heavier fabric. Care: Washable - hand wash Condition: Very good When buying vintage clothes on line, one must own a tape measure & measure a similar garment to see if the new garment falls within the measurements that are given in the description. You cannot look at the measurements & think that those are your own measurements & that it will fit. All garments need to be a few inches larger than one's own body measurements for a good fit. All items are pre-owned by someone unless otherwise stated as new old stock & may have some signs of wear which is understandable. I always note any major obvious imperfections although a small one may slip through without my noticing it & if I miss it, it must be very small. All items are wrapped with acid-free tissue. No item will ever be sent wrinkled beyond belief in an old plastic grocery bag inside of an old reused marked up envelope as has happened to me by some sellers. I think too much of my customers & my products to do that to anyone. I do not accept cancellations, exchanges or returns so make your selection carefully. All vintage items are just that vintage & not new straight from the mall- & may show some imperfections, wear & use because of the age. I try to list any imperfection but a small one could slip by unintentionally. All
