DESPITE OBTAINING MEASUREMENTS, I CAN NOT GUARANTEE A PERFECT FIT. VINTAGE CLOTHING TENDS TO RUNS SMALL. IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO ALLOW A LITTLE EXTRA ROOM FOR COMFORT AND EASE IN MOVEMENT. EBAY REQUIRES THAT WE HAVE OUR POLICIES CLEARLY POSTED. MY ITEMS SELL AS IS - NO RETURNS - NO REFUNDS. BUYER MUST UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THIS PRIOR TO PURCHASE. HOWEVER, I WILL LIST ANY DEFECTS I SEE IN MY DESCRIPTIONS, SO THAT BUYER IS AWARE. VINTAGE ITEMS SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO BE PERFECT, AS THEY HAVE HAD A PAST LIFE AND ARE DECADES OLD. BUYING VINTAGE ITEMS IS NOT LIKE BUYING NEW. THIS LOVELY DRESS AND BAG APPEAR TO BE IN NICE CONDITION. THE HAT HAS A NAME PRINTED ON THE INSIDE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BRIM IN BACK AND A LITTLE DISCOLORATION ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BRIM IN FRONT. THERE IS A HOLE ON EACH SIDE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BRIM WHERE AN ELASTIC BAND WAS ATTACHED. A NEW ELASTIC BAND CAN EASILY BE ADDED TO HELP TO SECURE THE HAT.TO THE HEAD. NONE CAN BE SEEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THERE IS ALSO A CREASE ON THE TOP OF THE CROWN THAT I BELIEVE CAN BE STEAMED. SINCE MY ITEMS SELL AS IS, PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE DESCRIPTION, EXAMINE THE PHOTOGRAPHS CAREFULLY AND ASK QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING. IT IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE THAT I MAY HAVE OVERLOOKED SOME SMALL DETAIL, BUT I TRY MY BEST TO GIVE COMPLETE, HONEST AND ACCURATE DESCRIPTIONS AND A LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS.
