It’s a really pretty blue, with lovely flowers all over, silk-screened I believe. It has two cute little pockets in the front, and a tie around the back. It has a metal zipper along the side.

It’s in very good condition for its age. It does have a couple loose seams, only about an inch. The bottom has a thin line all the way around, like it was hemmed at one point, but there are no other signs it was hemmed. There is also, on the right side, and line of pin sized holes where it was taken in at one time.

$30 plus $8 shipping

Measurements: taken while laying flat and doubled
Bust: 42
Waist: 32
Hips: full
Length: 56”

I have no idea? How much is it usually from the states? Do you have a zip code or similar that I could try and lookup?

 

[alexandra]

L0E 1E0 is my postal code

 

[texasgirl]

Looks like it is between $24-30 depending on the size/weight

 

[alexandra]

Alas,that makes it out of my price range. It's a lovely dress though!

It should be WAAAY less than that. I've shipped laptops to Canada for $25.

 

[sixsexsix]

yup! even shipping things like shoes is only about $14

 

[texasgirl]

I don't know. I went to UPS first and it said $80 something, so then I went to USPS and it had different prices listed based on size,etc. I don't know much about shipping- this is what came up- any help appreciated

Priority Mail® International Flat-Rate Box 6 - 10 Days $23.95
Priority Mail® International Large Flat-Rate Box 6 - 10 Days $29.95

The problem is that you are looking at flat rate pricing. The price for a first class package or envelope based on a 3lb package should be $12.16 I figured it high since it was full length and of a good weighted material. If you need I could tell you how I get this but usually it's always a little bit cheaper at the post office.

 

[KittyT]

Yes, don't use flat rate boxes. It's almost always more expensive than just paying regular shipping.

 

[texasgirl]

So use what kind of box? I recently had problems using my own box, it came out really high.

Alexandra if you want to go for $13, that's okay with me.

maybe a padded envelope? i always find with shipping the thinner the better

Hmm I've never had this problem. Of course, it depends on the weight, the size of the box and how you're shipping it too (say, Priority is a lot more expensive than Parcel Post, for domestic mail anyway). Just use the smallest box you can find that will fit the item, or carefully wrap it in plastic and use a padded or plastic envelope.

If you can do $13 bucks I'd love to buy it.

May I ask if the seam that's loose is repairable or is the fabric there shot?
