More about this item

This nude color, pleated, pencil, retro knee length skirt with belt loops used to belong to my mother. She has only worn it once ever since she bought it either in 1991 or 1992 in Japan. It was cleaned and stored away until a couple of months ago. It was cleaned again and is now up for sale. A faux slit is on the front (second picture). A slip cover is attached to the skirt (third picture; according to my mother, it's very soft against your skin). A hidden zipper, small snap closure, and another closure are on the back of the skirt (fourth picture).

Thanks to a couple of friends, I can reassuredly type that the penultimate picture of the label is talking about the waist measurement in centimeters, that it's 100% polyester, and the care instructions. This skirt will fit if your waist is between 66 - 70 cm (~26 - ~27.6 in), but the recommended size is ~26.8 inches. The back waistband has some stretch to it.

Care instructions: Hand wash in water temperature of 30° C or less. Do not use chlorine bleach. May be ironed directly at 180-210° C if a cloth is placed between iron and garment. Dry clean with any dry cleaning agent.

Measurements:

Length (top to bottom hem): 19.5 inches (If you know how to tailor, or know someone who can tailor, it's possible to make this an inch longer or shorter if you'd prefer.)

Top of belt loop to bottom of belt loop: 1.9 inches (I measured with the widest belt I have of 1.9 inches and it fits just right)

Zipper: 7.5 inches

 

Click on the “Ask seller a question” button above – or if I’m online, it’ll say “Send message to seller” under the “Ask seller a question” – if you have any questions about this product. You’ll quickly receive a reply.

I recycle clean packing materials whenever I can. Of course, if I see it’s too damaged, I won’t use it. Whenever I run out, I buy new ones, unless I know I’ll be shopping online soon.

I combine shipping depending on the weight of each item. So if you buy 10 items that all weighed one pound and were in a normal sized package, the shipping cost would be the same as shipping a 10 pound, normal sized package.

All items are kept and packaged in a smoke-free and pet-free home.

Payment

I accept payments via PayPal. Your PayPal account must be US based because, for the time being, I can only ship to the US.

Shipping

I ship 1-2 business days after payment is received and cleared. I ship with USPS for now. Tracking number is provided. Benefit of using USPS is that I can ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, APO/FPO/DPO, US Territories, and anywhere else the USPS goes for the regular shipping rate. I will not charge extra for these locations.

Shipping to APO/FPO/DPOs: I gladly ship to US military with APO/FPO/DPO addresses. You will not be charged extra for the form at all. Why should you? You’re risking your life for something I can’t bring myself to do. The least I can do is take two minutes to fill out a customs form. Basically, you will only be charged the regular shipping rate USPS asks for your item, not the form.

Please keep the following in mind for all packages: Transit times are controlled by the carrier and weather related variables. I do not have any control over these factors. Your item will be packaged to the best of my ability to reduce possible damage along the way.

No International Orders

I do not sell or ship outside of the United States.

Damaged Items

All packages are inspected for damage before they ship. If your package has been damaged in transit, please contact me immediately via Bonanza.

Return Policy

All sales are final. In the event your item is received damaged or drastically different than described, please contact me through the Bonanza email explaining the condition your item is in. These are the only times refunds or exchanges may be allowed. Depending on each case, I may offer a refund or exchange. On all cases, I will work something out with you.

Refunds / Exchanges

PayPal allows refunds up to 30 days after purchase. Refunds are applied up to 2 days after receipt of the returned merchandise. For an exchange, please send back the original item and upon receipt I will ship your exchanged item.

Return Shipping
Return shipping cost (the cost to send an item back to me) is like or comparable to your cost of driving to any store in order to return an item, which is not reimbursable. Therefore, I do not reimburse any return shipping cost. I will ship the replacement product to you at my cost, and use every good measure to ensure that the replacement order is shipped out quickly.

Return Exception

There are some product categories which are not returnable at all due to hygienic and sanitary reasons. Currently, personal care products (face powder, body powder, lip balm, etc.) and health products are the only categories that fall under this exception.

Feedback

Since this is not eBay (yay!), feedback is not a major thing here as it is on there. Feedback is, however, welcomed if you would like to share your experience with other people. In the event you feel like you have a problem with your order, please give me a chance to make the situation right before posting a negative review.

 

Thank you for looking at my booth, and for reading all of this. :)
