Artifice Clothing

We use e-bay mainly to sell photoshoot samples or clothing used for fashion shows.  Usually everything starts off at a penny but it never ends for anything close to that amount so keep an eye on your auctions since most people tend to bid at the last second. All clothing is shipped by air mail unless otherwise requested. This is usually very cheap but does not include a tracking number, if you would like an upgrade to expresspost feel free to email us.

Standard sizing information:
              XS         S            M         L      XL
Chest   32-33  34-35  36-37   38-39  40-42
Waist   23-25  26-27  28-29   30-31  32-34
Hip        33-35  36-37  38-39   40-41  42-44
Inseam  29     29     30      30     31

1. Bust:
Measure, under your arms and over the fullest part of your bust, all the way around your body while wearing a bra. Remember to keep the measuring tape comfortably loose. Dresses with straps are fitted to be worn without bra, while catsuits and anything with sleeves are designed to be worn with a regular or pushup padded bra. For example if your bust is a 36B or C you are a size medium. Using your bra size as a reference is the usually a reliable indicator since its standard for most countries.
2. Waist:
Measure your natural waist, i.e. the area where you are the thinnest. Keep the measuring tape comfortably loose, and do not inhale to get the smallest possible measurement unless you intend to continue doing that the whole time you wear the outfit ;-).
3. Hips:
Measure around the fullest part of your hips, placing the tape about midway between your crotch and belly button (usually the thickest part of your butt). Keep the tape comfortably loose. This is not the hipbone measurement, its the largest part of your hips,

We don't sell a lot on ebay so we try to keep our transactions as hassle free as possible for us and our customers, so here's some simple rules that probably apply to every other seller out there

1. We usually ship within 1-4 days of recieving payment
2. Please ask all questions before bidding and read everything in the description
3. If we are listing one part of an outfit (for example the top) the auction is for that piece only not the skirt, jewelery, or boots shown in the pictures
4. If you send a money order we will hold onto the package until the money order clears before shipping
5. Do not cancel bids, if you cancel bids you will be banned from our auctions, think carefully before bidding
6. We will not cancel the auction and sell it to you early, so please don't ask, its inconsiderate to the other bidders. If you want something right away buy it from our website
7. We are flexible with payment, things do come up so we understand if you need to wait a few days before paying. We do not leave bad feedback if you are late paying as long as you contact us and explain the problem. But you must pay within six days or e-mail to explain why you are unable to do so. I usually do not leave feedback until the other person does because I believe feedback should be based on the entire buying expiernce not just the payment part, and more often just because I wait until the end of the month to do it all at once. It doesn't mean there was a problem. If we do not receive payment within two weeks we will be forced to put a NPB strike on you. But then again we rarely have to do this since most ebayers pay on time.
8. There are no refunds on ebay items. Measure yourself before you bid, if you want another size buy it from our site

9. We will cancel bids by bidders with 0 feedback, we've just had too many problems with 0 feedback bidders never paying that we're forced to do this
