Hello my lovelies!!!
If you haven’t had a transaction with me before, welcome to my auctions!! (if you’re a returning customer – welcome back!!) Please feel assured that my 3900+ positive feedback is a reflection of my commitment to a positive Ebay experience. There are many sellers with very dodgy feedback out there – exercise your right to choose and refuse to deal with anyone less than 99% perfect!!
I am stunned I have one of these gorgeous dresses to offer! They never come up on Ebay!
This dress is such a classic piece of Sass & Bide design!!! Before Sass & Bide launched their "Wolfnation" Line, they did a piece every second season or so that spared no expense in any way, and was made as the absolutely "top-of-the-line" piece of the collection! This dress is one of of those early "no expense spared" pieces!
This item is the divine "NUMBER ONE FAN " Sequinned Butterfly Dress! It has been a sellout st yle
This dress is absolutely the most intricate and beautiful, bar none, that Sass & Bide have produced. The work that has gone into the dress is absolutely incredible!
The dress is cut in a shift style with a V neck. It has an underlayer of sheer nude silk, and a silk overlayer that is embroidered all over with the most amazing peacock sequin and bead work! The hues are just gorgeous - Copper, Chocolate, Rose Gold and Clear Oil Slick Multicolour sequins and beads cover EVERY INCH of the dress. No photograph can do it justice - it is absolutely spectacular in person!
The dress retailed for AUD $850++ in stores and over *$1000* USD overseas - grab a bargain on a gorgeous designer item!
Tag says AUSTRALIAN DESIGNER "SIZE 1" . This normally equates to an AUS 6-small 10, UK 6-small 10, USA 0-4, EURO 36-40 .
Measurements:
Bust: 96cm
Waist: 92cm
Across Bottom: 96cm
I am starting this dress at the unbelievable price of 0.99 as it has been worn a couple of times, and there is some beading missing from the vertical lines around the bottom of the dress. This is not noticeable from more than 6 inches away, and the dress could be worn as is and no-one would notice. If you wanted to buy a couple of packets of beads and sequins and restitch them, it could be easily done in an afternoon and the dress would look as good as brand new. This is the reason for the AMAZING low start price!
The Boring Bit (aka the Terms of Sale
During the auction:
*I will attempt to answer all questions within 24 hours . Mostly I answer a lot quicker than that! However, please allow me a reasonable timeframe before the auction ends to answer your questions. I work full-time and may not always be able to answer questions asked if you allow me only a couple of hours.
*I generally provide measurements as part of the listing and I am more than happy to provide more detailed measurements upon request. It is your responsibility to check the measurements provided against yourself to ensure fit. I cannot guess if an item will fit you.
*If you have any questions about the item or description, you should clarify these with me before bidding . I will happily provide postage quotes to international buyers – please email me!
*Bidders with zero feedback are absolutely welcome. However, you must contact me before you bid with your details so I can be confident you understand my auction terms. Bids from zero feedbackers who do not contact me will be cancelled.
After the auction ends:
*If you are the winning bidder , I will endeavour to contact you within 24 hours . It’s also your responsibility to contact me. You must do this within 3 days of the auction ending to arrange payment and finalise postage options.
* Payment must be made in full within 7 days unless you have made special arrangements with me before the auction ends. If I haven’t had contact or payment from you within 7 days, I will begin Non-Paying bidder procedures. I will relist the item if payment is not made in 7 days.
*If you win an auction and you are outside Australia
Payment:
*I accept PAYPAL, Direct Debit/Deposit, and Money Orders from Australian Buyers . If Australian buyers are paying via Paypal, then the only postage methods available are Registered Post or Express Post Platinum. If you wish to pay via Direct Deposit or Money Order, I will permit Regular Post or Standard Express Post to be used - let me know at auction close and I will send you an invoice with the correct costings.
*I accept PAYPAL ONLY from International winning bidders.
Postage:
*Postage prices quoted within the auction are for Express and Registered/Insured Postage within Australia . I am more than happy to arrange Regular Postage if payment is made via Direct Deposit.
* For International buyers I offer EMS International Courier, and Regular Airmail (fully insured) . It is a requirement of my auctions that ALL items sent out of Australia . This is for your protection and mine. International buyers are solely responsible for any and all customs duties charged at point of entry to your country. For any country that refuses to accept Insured Airmail (Norway, Sweden, Mexico, Canada, Germany) the ONLY available shipping method is EMS Courier - NO EXCEPTIONS.
*I attempt to ship out items within 24 hours of payment being received and this occurs 99% of the time.
*I will do everything in my power to chase up parcels lost or delayed in the post, but I cannot consider refunding unless registered or insured post is purchased.
Returns etc:
*I am on Ebay purely for fun – I don’t do it for a living! Lord knows I don’t make anywhere near enough money out of it for that. Therefore I am unable to offer returns for any other reason other than the fact that I send you the wrong item . Should that occur (and it hasn’t had to yet!) I will refund you upon the safe receipt of the item in the condition it was sent to you in. Please be aware that auction sales are not covered by any State or Federal “returns� legislation and therefore there are no refund “rights� with Ebay sales.
*Please Note* Many of the designer garments I sell are made from natural fabrics. Natural fabrics frequently have small irregularities in colour, warp and weave. The designers do not consider these small irregularities, pulls or minute holes to be imperfections and neither do I. Similarly, security tag holes are a fact of life with expensive garments. I will not mention these unless they are significantly larger than normal.
*If you receive an item and (heaven forbid) you are unhappy with it – please contact me, I’m not unreasonable! However if you leave negative or neutral feedback without attempting to resolve the issue, I will not negotiate further.
*If the item does not fit you or does not suit for any other reason, please feel free to relist the item to recoup your cost. If you ask beforehand, I will even let you use my photos!
Last Bits!
*Where I list brand names in the item titles, the items are all authentic, so please don’t email me asking “is this authentic?� If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have the brand name there. My feedback should tell you how reliable I am about the authenticity of the items I sell. If I list an item as “Brand New with Tags� or “Brand New without Tags� – it is exactly that. Not worn and never worn. If there are any faults in an item, they will be outlined in the item description.
*Buyers, please make sure to check the feedback of sellers who sell in the same category as me before you purchase elsewhere. There are a number of sellers in Australian Designer clothing categories with extremely dodgy feedback. Anything less that 99% perfect is not good enough
