NEED TO KNOW: ✦ MOST sales are considered final. Returns can be reviewed on a case-by-case basis if there is a significant error in the listing. Time is spent to give accurate measurements on each item, so I unfortunately can not offer returns for items that do not fit. TERRASITA also can not accept returns on undergarments, bathing-suits, or items from the 1920’s or earlier due to their fragile nature. Additional absolutely no returns or exchanges on Layaway items. ✦ Vintage clothing is pre-worn and pre-loved and as a result some pieces may show signs of wear or use. I carefully inspect each item and disclose any signs of wear in our detailed descriptions. ✦ If you have any questions about fit, color, or need any additional photos, please don’t hesitate to ask questions before you decide to purchase. I want you to be happy with your item! ✦ SIZING – Vintage clothing sizing does not reflect modern standards. When determining size, make sure you account for enough room to move comfortably. Additionally, vintage clothing is more fragile and should be worn with this in mind. Occasionally there are seam allowances or darts that can be removed, as well as tailors that can alter a vintage item to fit your particular shape. When determining size I recommend measuring the following: HIPS: measure around the fullest part of your hips. BUST: measure over the fullest part of your bust while wearing a bra. WAIST: measure around the smallest point of your natural waistline. SHOULDER TO WAIST: measure from the very top of your shoulder – where the seam would lie, down the front, over the bust, to your waistline. LENGTH: measure from the top of your shoulder, down the front, and to the point where the hem would be. Inseam measurements for pants would be measured from the inside of the leg at the very top of the groin, down to the hem. ✦ SHOE SIZING – I tale actual measurements inside the shoe from toe to heel, as well as width measurements inside the shoe as accurately as possible. Questions? Just ask and I can help!

By Puritan Forever Young. I believe there is enough fabric in hem to switch back to maxi, if you like. Nice condition considering it dates from about 1974 and probably went to prom. If disturbed, they can leak dye on surrounding fabric, so I don’t remove them.
You know, I could see this being a fantastic wedding dress for those inclined to make the leap into the unknown but no matter how you slice it, this is a dress that is a refreshing switch from black black black. Don’t get me wrong, I wear black all the dang time but when I am certain everyone else is wearing black (or even red), i want the spotlight on me. Don’t you? Suzy Perette from the 1950’s, constructed like an old haute couture dress with an interior gathered skirt lining that fastens at the waist. Ivory silk faille holds its shape without being stiff or making crunchy ruffling noises when you move. Unlined through the gently pleated bodice, the neckline and under the bust is framed in a double flange like a matted picture in a frame. Bow at the right side of the ribcage with a rhinestone brooch that almost looks like a stylized rabbit so with the bow « ears » and the pin and the color, it has a little twist. Zips in back, integrated cap sleeves into the bodice, the bust measures 38″, waist 25″ and length 47″. I swear this is my mother’s body when she was young. I would recommend this for a size 6 with a C or small D cup. If you are small-cupped, it’s probably not the best fit. Excellent condition. No stains – no stains. Did I mention no stains? It’s tough with vintage pale color so even I am impressed. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know. I am always happy to help.

Very pretty, light green dress with white + ivory embroidery + cutwork. Lined. Short sleeve. Zips up back with hook + eye closure at back of neck. Mock turtle neck is creased, as shown in pic.
