dress has a metal zip back closure and is lined except for the sleeves

Condition:  Good Vintage

 There is a line with stitch marks and a couple holes around the dress where the length has been raised, then let back out. There are also a couple very faint spots which i am sure will blot out...but they would not be easily noticeable if left as is. Still a a great dress for use as costume or if you are handy with a sewing machine, the hem could be raised again (about 5 1/2" inches) to completely cover the holes.

A BIT ABOUT VINTAGE CLOTHING...
Nearly everything I sell is vintage which means it is pre-owned. Please expect a bit of normal wear. I try to list any problems that are out of the norm such as stains, holes, loose seams, excessive fading, etc. Please see the standardized guidline below. Secondly, I usually do not know about the surroundings in which these items came from or the habits of the previous owners. I cannot guarantee that they were stored in a smoke or pet free environment.

Mint: An item is as perfect and pristine as when it was originally made and shows no sign of wear

(mint condition is rare for vintage clothing).

Near mint: An item shows only the slightest signs of wear.

Excellent: An item shows typical signs of wear due to occasional use.

Very good: An item is considered wearable but has some surface flaws (staining or soiling, for example).

Good: An item is wearable but cannot be returned to excellent condition even if repairs are made.

RETURN POLICY:
I do NOT accept returns or exchanges unless an item is grossly misrepresented. As for clothing, please follow measurements and ask questions prior to bidding. Sizes varies, so when in question it is best to compare measurements listed to a similar garment you already own.

To ensure I receive your email, please use the eBay message system to contact me should you have any questions or problems.You will usually get a response within 24 hours.
