Victoria Royal Made In The British Crown Colony of Hong Kong Size: 12
Fabric: No tag but it is peau de soir
Approximate measurements :
Bust: 37 - 38
Waist: 28
Length: 58 with a 1-¾ inch hem in case it needs to be let down
Condition: Very good - some beads or shot could be missing but the large majority are there & there is so many of them a few missing ones would never be noticed - appx 9 inches of the hem & a few random spots need to be resewn -easy fix - little store soiling close to hem which most likely will come out with a cleaning - after all, this is vintage & one cannot expect it to look as though it just came from the mall - small imperfections for a gorgeous vintage beaded rhinestone evening gown
Care: Dry clean
We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be NEW, please don't expect it to be perfect. Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use/wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing/using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.
Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.
Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I DEFINITELY would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.
The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing.
