Description: FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THIS LOVELY VINTAGE RED LACE MERMAID EVENING GOWN FROM THE 1980s. THE FITTED GOWN HAS A MERMAID SKIRT, AND IT IS SHORTER IN THE FRONT AND LONGER IN BACK. THE GOWN HAS A SATIN OVER THE SHOULDER COLLAR AND SATIN COVERED ELASTIC STRAPS. AUTHENTIC BLACK BEADED VICTORIAN TRIM WAS ADDED TO THE FRONT OF THE COLLAR, AND A VINTAGE RED VELVET NOSEGAY WAS ADDED IN FRONT. THE TRIM AND NOSEGAY WERE ADDED BECAUSE THE GOWN WAS WORN ON STAGE, SO IT IS NOT ORIGINAL. i DECIDED TO LEAVE THEM ON AND SELL THEM WITH THE GOWN. THE GOWN HAS SHORT SLEEVES, BONING AROUND THE TOP OF THE COLLAR, OVER THE BUST AND ON BOTH SIDES IN BACK, A ZIPPER CLOSURE IN BACK, HANGER LOOPS, AND IT IS LINED WITH A SOFT SILKY RED LINING. THE LABEL STATES THAT THE GOWN IS A SIZE 16. HOWEVER, ACCURATE BODY MEASUREMENTS MUST BE TAKEN TO COMPARE WITH ITS MEASUREMENTS. THE BUST MEASURED 36 INCHES. THE WAIST MEASURED 30 INCHES. THE HIPS MEASURED 38 INCHES. THE SLEEVES ARE 6 INCHES LONG. THE DRESS IS 45 INCHES LONG IN FRONT AND 55 INCHES LONG IN BACK. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, ACCURATE BODY MEASUREMENTS MUST BE TAKEN PRIOR TO BIDDING, ESPECIALLY WHEN BUYING VINTAGE CLOTHING. DESPITE OBTAINING MEASUREMENTS, I CAN NOT GUARANTEE A PERFECT FIT. VINTAGE CLOTHING TENDS TO RUNS SMALL. IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO ALLOW A LITTLE EXTRA ROOM FOR COMFORT AND EASE IN MOVEMENT. EBAY REQUIRES THAT WE HAVE OUR POLICIES CLEARLY POSTED. MY ITEMS SELL AS IS - NO RETURNS - NO REFUNDS. BUYER MUST UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THIS PRIOR TO PURCHASE. HOWEVER, I WILL LIST ANY DEFECTS I SEE IN MY DESCRIPTIONS, SO THAT BUYER IS AWARE. VINTAGE ITEMS SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO BE PERFECT, AS THEY HAVE HAD A PAST LIFE AND ARE DECADES OLD. BUYING VINTAGE ITEMS IS NOT LIKE BUYING NEW. THIS LOVELY DRESS APPEARS TO BE IN NICE CONDITION. IT HAD BEEN DRY CLEANED AND NOT WORN SINCE. NEW ELASTIC WAS ADDED TO THE STRAPS WITH A LITTLE EXTRA ON THE INSIDE, SO THEY CAN BE ADJUSTED TO FIT THE WEARER. SINCE MY ITEMS SELL AS IS, PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE DESCRIPTION, EXAMINE THE PHOTOGRAPHS CAREFULLY AND ASK 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 PHOTOGRAPHS. MY RETURN POLICY IS LIMITED TO REFUNDS ONLY IF I HAVE MADE AN ERROR IN MY DESCRIPTION. UNFORTUNATELY, I AM UNABLE TO ACCEPT A RETURN FOR ANY AGE RELATED SCENT, SOMETHING I DID NOT SEE, ILL FIT, DESPITE OBTAINING MEASUREMENTS, NOR BUYER'S REMORSE, CHANGING YOUR MIND OR PROBLEMS BEYOND MY CONTROL, SUCH AS PROBLEMS OCCURRING DURING SHIPPING. INSURANCE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT. IF I HAVE MISLED YOU IN MY DESCRIPTION, I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY, PRIOR TO REPORTING TO 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 DESCRIPTIONS. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT MY BUYERS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE PURCHASING AND UNDERSTAND MY RETURN POLICY.....THAT MY ITEMS SELL AS IS. BY BIDDING, BUYER AGREES TO PAY IN FULL, WITHIN 3 DAYS FROM THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION. IMMEDIATE PAYMENT IS REQUIRED WHEN BUY IT NOW IS USED. NON PAYING BUYERS WILL BE REPORTED TO E-BAY, AND NEGATIVE FEEDBACK WILL BE GIVEN. I WILL SHIP BETWEEN 1-3 DAYS OF CONFIRMED PAYMENT BY PAYPAL AND USUALLY SHIP THE SAME DAY PROVIDED THE POST OFFICE IS OPEN. I SHIP VIA PRIORITY MAIL WITH TRACKING INFORMATION AND INSURANCE. I AM SORRY, BUT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN COUNTRIES PARTICIPATING IN THE GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM. I ONLY SHIP THROUGH THEM. BEFORE BIDDING, INTERNATIONAL BUYERS MUST AGREE TO PAY THE CHARGES SET FORTH BY THEM, INCLUDING THE COST TO SHIP BY PRIORITY MAIL. I APOLOGIZE, BUT DUE TO PROBLEMS IN THE PAST, I WILL ONLY SHIP BY PRIORITY MAIL AND NOT BY A LESS EXPENSIVE WAY. THANK YOU FOR PREVIEWING MY AUCTION. BEST OF LUCK SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO BID.
