40s Vintage Navy Nipped Waist Hattie Carnegie Suit S

Up for your consideration is one of the most fabulous vintage suits I've come across since I've been selling vintage clothing on eBay. Up for your consideration is a 40s Vintage Navy Nipped Waist Hattie Carnegie Suit S. Suit is made of a lighter weight navy wool? fabric. Two decorative gold tone rhinestone buttons at the top of the jacket followed by three self functional buttons. Built in shoulder pads. Pockets built into the bust area. Skirt has a metal zipper and hook & eye closure. "Hattie Carnegie" label inside as well as , "The Smart Shop Houston" label. Fully lined.

Measures:

Shoulder to shoulder: 15.5", Bust: 36-38", Jacket waist (nipped waist): 26", Skirt waist: 26", Hips: 38", Length from top of side seam waist to hem: approximately 27 3/4"

I would say this suit is in very good condition. No rips, stains or tears. I did find a teeny tiny 1-2 mm hole in each sleeve near the hem. The suit also needs to be dry cleaned as it's been hanging in a closet for a very long time (has a bit of dust on it). Some of the rhinestones are the decorative buttons vary in color (some are darker than others). No other issues to note. This is a fabulous suit!

Please contact me with questions prior to purchase or bidding.

All items are sold in "as is" condition. I do not have a return policy. This is stated in all of my listings however, if there is an issue with an item, all I ask is to be contacted within 3 days of receiving the item (I ship each item with delivery confirmation and insurance and know when your item arrives at your door). If you wait more than 3 days to notify me of any issues, I will not be able to help you.

I do not grant returns on items, and especially on items that do not fit. I use a modern American sizing chart and provide all accurate measurements.

If you state that your item does not fit, I will need a digital photo of how you are measuring the garment to ensure accuracy on both parts. My dress form is a modern size 10 (the bust on my form measures 37", waist measures 30" and hips measured 40") and I can always provide photo's of my tape measure wrapped around and pinned on the bust, waist and hips if needed to prove that my measurements are accurate. If the items are smaller, I typically pin them on my form and measure the garment flat. If you have a question about fit, buy a fabric measuring tape or message me directly with questions.

I carefully inspect my items and report any damage, but I may accidentally miss something occasionally. Most of my items are vintage, so minor wear may occur, please be aware when purchasing. I only give returns on items that are grossly misrepresented minus shipping and listing fees. Gross misrepresentation has nothing to do with fit or minor imperfections. I have also started to mark items in ways that only I will know they were sold or came from my store.

If the item you ordered breaks during shipment, I will need a digital photo of the broken item emailed to me prior to filing an insurance claim. I will need this information to give to the insurance company for the claim. If you can't provide the photo, I will not file a claim report and you will not get a refund. Please keep the box the item was shipped in, as that will be necessary for the claim as well.

To my international buyers: I love you guys however, you are solely reponsible for paying your own customs taxes. Also, if an item breaks during shipment to an international destination, please keep all packaging materials the item arrived in, as the box and contents inside are necessary to file a claim.

Thank you for shopping and please feel free to message me with questions at any time.

Buyer must contact me within 3 days after the close of the listing. Payment is due by the 7th day after the close of the listing. If payment is not received, an unpaid reminder will be sent and eBay will be notified.
