Condition
This set is in excellent condition for its age. No notable flaws that I can see - perhaps a pin dot speck or two - extremely minor. The lining has a pink dye smudge in one place but this is not detectable from the exterior of the dress. Shown with a crinoline and belt for presentation purposes and not included in the sale.
Please note that these are vintage items that have been used and loved over the years, As such, they may display slight evidence of their age. Any notable flaws above and beyond this will be highlighted here.

We now offer an alternate express delivery service via DHL for those of you who want your packages more expediently. This option is currently delivering packages within a seven-day timeframe from pick-up.

Should a circumstance arise where we are unable to post within this timeframe (eg we are away at a fair) we will contact you immediately.
