Pretty April Cornell Vintage Top and Camisole - Lilac Orchid Gingham Woven Cotton - Plus Size XXL 2 PC - Cottagecore - Pockets

Another lovely vintage April Cornell piece---a top with very soft woven 100% cotton lawn/batiste in gorgeous orchid-lilac and pink shades of gingham checks, with a coordinating solid-color lilac chemise with adjustable straps, to go underneath! Super comfortable to wear especially in warmer weather--would look so cute with some lilac leggings or capris. April's designs are so comfortable, are timeless in style and always wear well, which is why collectors just love her vintage clothing. Beautifully made with lovely details and super soft fabric, plus even has pockets! Such a beautiful and wearable classic style, with a soft drapey line that looks flattering on many figure types.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE, please be sure to read ALL of the description especially the measurements and condition, and examine ALL the photos, BEFORE asking questions; and do be absolutely positive this piece will fit your requirements, as there are no refunds or returns. I'm a degreed and experienced textile scientist/antique garment restorer and seamstress, and I very, very carefully note any and all condition issues or repairs to every piece of antique/vintage clothing that I'm selling, so I can't stress enough that even if they're in pristine condition, remember they are all decades old and NOT new clothing, so if you desire modern perfection please don't purchase vintage! I don't do layaways or take offers, so please don't ask, thank you. Jewelry/accessories/props in photos are not included and not for sale.

I love antique and vintage clothing and have collected it for years, as well as having a longtime design career including doing costume & restoration work for major movie studios and museums....I've translated that love to my own contemporary creations as well as now offering some choice pieces of my extremely large collection of vintage and antique beauties! I'm meticulous about clothing in general so I make quite sure that every piece of vintage clothing I sell is clean, fresh, pressed and in excellent wearable condition---I do not use any fragranced or heavily-chemical products in caring for/cleaning garments and they are carefully stored in climate-controlled closets at all times except for when I am photographing them for listings. There is NO SMOKING whatsoever in this establishment and never has been. Everything is very diligently inspected before it is shipped to you, carefully wrapped in new tissue, and I only ship in NEW USPS boxes, NOT flimsy bags or crammed into careless packaging (which seems to be widespread nowadays but I really hate to see when I'm the recipient!) I respect clothing and I ship it the way I would want it shipped to me.

Though marked an XXL, please go by the measurements below:

Bust: measures 48" pit to pit, would look best on no larger than a 44-45" actual body measurement (though this is an open-style crossover bodice, I don't recommend larger than that) Under bust/high waist measurement is 44" max, no stretch to fabric. Has a raised/empire waist with a full gathered lower skirt, surplice style bodice, the chemise is a simple A-line style with adjustable straps. The top has nice side pockets!
Length is approx 33" from shoulder to hem while on the hanger. Mannequin is a modern size 6/8 (36-26-36) and is much too small for the top. I'd say best for up to a 16/18, but double check measurements to be sure; there are no returns or exchanges on vintage clothing.

Condition: I can find no flaws on this; though it is gently worn, both pieces are freshly cleaned/pressed and look great, no underarm wear, no stains, rips, holes or damages, just gorgeous! Labels are intact, with the designer's own April Cornell tag on both the top and the cami; marked XXL. (Check out April Cornell's online size chart on their website for further guidance, but keep in mind this is a vintage piece.)

Please make sure this will suit you as to measurements and style before you purchase; I don't do alterations or accept returns.....Also, please be sure to read my shop policies/shipping info in full before you purchase (click on "policies" on my main shop page).

PLEASE NOTE I DO NOT SELL OR SHIP TO CHINA, ASIA, RUSSIA, AFRICA, ITALY & several other areas. Do not attempt to circumvent this by using a freight forwarder as your order will be CANCELED.
