POLICIES


we always accept returns
Your satisfaction is my object.
DV items are returnable, refundable, exchangeable.

Okay, so you're thinking about returning?... take a week to decide.
If you still find your item unlikable: email the shop, repack and mail it back.
Please be aware: returns must be postmarked within 7 days of initial delivery.
Tardy returns will be accepted but are considered rentals, subject to a 50% fine.

I offer two refund options:
(1) the cost of item, less shipping, in cash
(2) full refund (includes shipping both ways) in store credit.

Please don't wear your item out. As common sense dictates, pieces returned torn, soiled or stained aren't accepted for return, sorry. In such cases, the burden of additional return postage lies with the buyer. Refund processing takes 2-4 weeks.

my condition report
Near-mint Seldom found in vintage. Sublimely purrrrfect shape -- integrity of garment is intact. No holes, stains or fading.

Excellent Superb shape --- no noticeable flaws.
In my estimation, a near-mint garment with a innocuous or hidden flaw, such as an unraveling label or a small tea-stain to the interior lining, will fall into this category. Such flaws are disclosed.

Very good
Delightfully wearable shape with no obtrusive flaws. There may be small faults, there may have been alterations or repairs to the garment, but any of these small but significant elements will be reported -- no unpleasant surprises!

Good Noticeable flaws. Only purchased if the item is historically significant.


care & handling
I use eco-friendly, secure packaging.
Garments are: stuffed with 100% recycled, acid-free tissue, corded in ribbon, popped into cellophane bags and shipped in recyclable USPS Tyvek envelopes. Breakables are always shipped boxed.

Many aged garments lack fabric tags and may be adversely affected by sudsy dunking --- colors might run and fabrics disintegrate. I gently wash & tidy all cotton & synthetic garments before shipping. Delicate fabrics are cleaned using a mixture of shampoo and white vinager (to reduce color run). If fabrics are dry-clean-only, I leave the cleaning to you. To avoid damage to the fabrics, unwashed items are never steamed or ironed whilst in my care.

Virtual imagery
Colors can get messy. Digital cameras often distort delicate shades of red, green and blue. I will do my best to manipulate photos to match a frock's true colors, but since we have different monitor settings the colors may still be inaccurate at your end. Black garments are always artificially lightened to highlight the details.

For these reasons, please use images as impressions - not mirrors - of a garment.
