LOOK FOR NEW LISTINGS EVERY FRIDAY & SUNDAY!

Hello, if you love vintage or modern nightgowns (& other occasional goodies) you have come to the right page! I am Andrew's Mommy Marisa.

I love to email and am more than happy to answer them with or without questions!

~ALL AUCTION INFO~

~Care~
All items come from a smoke-free home. As for pets, I have never seen my dogs trying on any of the peignoirs. However, I do not know the history of each item and cannot guarantee they were in a smoke & pet free enviroment before me. All items are cleaned unless they are "NWT" or "Dry Clean Only." I only sell wearable items although some range from new to loved condition. Any major flaws will be stated in the auction.

~Condition~
NWT- New not worn, if any, flaws will be stated.
Excellent- used but like new with maybe a single flaw*,
Great- used with 1-4 flaws* and/or signs of wear,
Good- in used condition with notiable wear and flaws*
Loved- wearable but has been well loved with obvious flaws

Flaws will be state in auction and they range from missing belt, snags, pricks, wear, etc. Clothing, vintage or modern, is in used condition unless otherwise noted. Please realize when purchasing any vintage item, items once belonged to someone else and they are not perfect.

~Pricing~
Pricing is based on what I pay for the gown or peignoir set. I have acquired Lucie Ann sets & Olga sets any where from $5 to $200 sometimes more. If an auction starts at $39 please keep in mind that I probably paid $20 for the gown plus I need to make up the cost of fees and some profit. ***Please note I reserve the right to end any listing at any time.***

~Measurements & Color~
All measurements are taken laying flat then doubled & length measurements are ALWAYS taken from the shoulder unless otherwise stated. BUST SIZE IS NOT BRA SIZE. Please see the pic below for exactly were the measurements are taken. Gigi (the mannequin) & the pearl necklace are for display purposes ONLY. All clothing is displayed to the best of my ability. Therefore, they are taped (not pinned as that leaves holes) to fit the mannequinn. People are not mannequins, so gowns do not always fit the way they do on the mannequins. Gigi only stands 4 ft when displaying full sweep gowns. Otherwise Gigi's height varies from 4'5" to 5'11". I may say a color is rose pink you might think it is watermelon pink, but I describe the color to the best of my ability. Please note colors appear different on the computer screens than in real life.



~Customer Satisfaction~
Now for all the not so nice stuff. I take great pride in selling nightgowns & other items. Anything I sell here on ebay, I would consider wearing or adding or already have in my collection. It is my goal to make customers happy. Unfortunately at this time, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. I DO NOT accept returns. Please do not ask me, as I will say no. However, if you have a problem or feel something has been extremely missrepresented, please email me before leaving feedback. With YOUR cooperation, I will do my best to resolve the situatution at MY discretion. I like happy customers and I want you to be pleased with your purchase!

~Shipping~
I use delivery pick up which can add an extra day onto the shipping time. If you need your gown ASAP due to an anniversary, wedding, etc. please let me know. Please see item description as shipping is calculated.

International & APO shipping based on destination. Please see www.usps.com for worldwide shipping rates or contact me. International packages are marked other-ebay. Lying on packages is a offense punishable by jail time. I enjoy my freedom so I mark other no exceptions.

I use USPS Priority mail with delivery confirmation for US shipping. If you prefer a different service please let me know before sending payment. Delivery confirmation is required and additional but included with Priority.

Insurance is HIGHLY recommended but not required. ONCE ITEMS LEAVE MY CARE, I AM NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE. $1.70 for anything under $50, $2.15 under $100, and $2.60 under $200. Once again, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE ONCE ITEMS LEAVE MY CARE. Unfortunately, USPS now offers delivery confirmation over-seas but I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend regular priority as insurance is included up to $64. Yes, it can get a little pricey but is it worth it? YES! I do keep all records of shipping but that will not replace lost items.

~Payment~
DUE TO EBAY'S POLICY CHANGE I NO LONGER ACCEPT MONEY ORDERS, WIRE TRANSFERS, OR CASHIER'S CHECKS. I accept paypal. ALL PAYMENT METHODS ARE DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTION END. You would be amazed at all of the relatives who die within hours of an auction end. All e-checks MUST clear Paypal before merchandise will ship. NO PERSONAL OR BUSINESS CHECKS.

Please contact me within 3 days or item will be relisted on the 4th. I only ask this to make sure you are serious and plan to follow through. Just a "Hey, I'm alive & intend to pay," will suffice. At my discretion, other arrangements for payment can be made. Should payment not be received within 7 days, the item will be relisted and a dispute will be filed. I do combine shipping within 7 days.

~Feedback~
I will leave feedback once I know you are satisfied. How do I know? When you leave feedback for me. Please contact me before leaving negative feedback as I do my best to ensure your happiness. Please understand that any feedback left will be returned in kind. If you are not pleased then I am not pleased.

~Why I sell Nightgowns~

My hobby is collection vintage nightgowns, since I love them so much I decided to sell them as well. I still collect gowns, so if I bid against you I hope you will forgive me. As well as selling vintage appearal, I am proud full-time mom.



This love of vintage nightgowns comes from grandma. When I was young, I used to spend lots of time over my grandma's house. She had a closet full of vintage nightgowns from the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's. I would put them on and prance around her house pretending I was a princess or movie star. Now, I still prance around the house in my nightgowns. :-D



I also believe every woman should indulge herself. One way of doing that is to let the little girl inside out to play dress up. Why not pamper yourself and prance around the house on something that might of graced a movie star? Don't you feel like hot stuff when dressed to a T? I know I do and nightgowns for me personally exemplifies that.



I picked Andrew's Mommy because my son is another reason I sell. All of my earnings go to pay bills either for his school, his taekwando lessons, etc. My son always makes me laugh when I start the listing process. As soon as I pull out gowns, my son will try to help me. He will try to take the picture or insert himself into the picture. His absolute favorite way of helping is wrapping a gown around himself like a cape. Then he will go running down the hallway with the gown billowing behind him. That is why I call myself Andrew's Mommy.



~About me~

I live here in Colorado with my son & both of us are Colorado natives. Andrew & I have had some major changes in our household lately & I am the current & sole bread winner. Only for vacations and as exchange student have I absent. My family has been in Colorado since 1858 and Andrew is the 6th generation Coloradan.



I have been asked what my favorite brand is and without hesitation it is Vanity Fair. They fit like no other and they are made like no other. My vanity fair gowns are the ones I wear constantly without fear of ripping or destroying. They are just wonderfully made gowns & have been around since the 1800's. However, I do love Lucie Ann, Alice Maloof, Saramae, Ter-She, Olga, and many more.
