If you need further assistance, please contact us — we are always happy to help.
What Is Authentic Vintage Clothing?
Authentic vintage clothing refers to original garments produced in past decades — generally from the 1920s through to the 1980s. Unlike retro or vintage-inspired fashion, genuine vintage clothing was designed and made during the era it represents.
Vintage Clothing Collection sells only original vintage garments. We do not sell reproductions or replicas.
Are Your Vintage Dresses Genuine?
Yes. Every item in our store is a genuine vintage garment sourced from its original era. We specialise in authentic vintage dresses and clothing, not modern recreations.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind.
Are Your Vintage Items Preloved?
Most of our vintage clothing has been previously worn and carefully preserved. Some rare pieces may be new old stock (unworn garments from the original era), sometimes with original tags attached.
Because vintage garments are often decades old, minor signs of wear may be present. All notable condition details are clearly described in the product listing.
How Do I Know What Size to Choose?
Vintage sizing differs significantly from modern sizing standards.
For this reason, we provide:
- Exact garment measurements
- Bust, waist and hip dimensions
- Length details
We recommend comparing the listed measurements with a similar garment you already own to ensure the best fit.
If you are unsure, please contact us before purchasing.
What Condition Are the Garments In?
We carefully inspect each item before listing it for sale.
Condition descriptions will note:
- Fabric quality
- Structural integrity
- Any visible flaws
- Alterations (if applicable)
Vintage clothing is sold in its existing condition, and we aim to provide accurate, transparent descriptions so you can shop confidently.
Do You Offer Returns or Exchanges?
Due to the unique and one-of-a-kind nature of authentic vintage clothing, we encourage customers to review measurements and condition details carefully before purchasing.
Please refer to our Returns Policy for full details. If you have questions about a specific garment, contact us prior to checkout.
Do You Offer Free Shipping in Australia?
Yes. Vintage Clothing Collection offers free shipping Australia-wide.
Do You Ship Internationally?
Yes. We are an Australian online vintage boutique and can ship internationally upon request. International shipping fees will be quoted based on destination and package size.
Please contact us for an international shipping estimate prior to purchase.
How Long Will My Order Take to Arrive?
Orders within Australia are typically dispatched promptly and delivered according to standard Australia Post timeframes.
International delivery times vary depending on destination country and customs processing.
Tracking details will be provided once your order is shipped.
Why Buy Vintage Clothing?
Authentic vintage clothing offers:
- Unique, one-of-a-kind fashion
- Sustainable and environmentally conscious shopping
- Superior craftsmanship from past eras
- Timeless style that stands out
Vintage fashion allows you to express individuality while preserving beautiful garments from fashion history.
How Often Do You Add New Vintage Pieces?
New authentic vintage dresses and garments are added regularly. Because each piece is unique, once it is sold, it cannot be restocked.
We recommend checking back often or subscribing to updates.
