    Description

    From the estate of a woman who lived to be 104.  She spent many of those years collecting an array of fine vintage and quality antiques...enough to fill a farmhouse and barn!
    This is a lovely, flowing chiffon garment with an elaborate flounce of
    fancy Valenciennes net-lace, panels of embroidered sheerest organza and more chiffon.  The chiffon is a buttercream or palest yellow and the lace is white.
    It could be worn as either a slip or a skirt with another layer beneath.  It is larger than usual for an item from this era.  Snap closure at waist.  A few small tears in the chiffon which might be repairable, depending on your skill with a needle and thread (see photos).  A few pinhead-size holes.  Small, faint, almost invisible discolored areas which do not show up in photos.  A few inevitable separations in the lace.  No odor.  It has been steamed to remove wrinkles.
    Approximate measurements in inches, measured flat across one side:
    Waist  15
    Length  38
    Sweep  45  (that's 90 inches when doubled!!!)
    Please DO NOT expect vintage clothing to be like new.  It will almost never be.  Also, this clothing tends to be more fragile than new and should be handled and worn with care.  The nature of textile is ephemeral.  Vintage items are described to the best of my ability and unless there has been a SUBSTANTIAL error in the description, they are non-returnable and non-refundable.  Fit is not guaranteed; compare measurements provided with clothing of your own. Many photos have been taken at the time of listing so they are available if needed to provide proof of condition and measurement.  Clothing will be folded and shipped in either a box or an envelope with tracking.
    Please ask any questions before bidding as all sales are final.  No partial refunds will be given.
    Please check back often as this is just the beginning of the listings.  Thank you for looking!
