All vintage garments for sale in the Tickeryboo shop have been through my own strict process of checking and repairing. I check the seams, hems and linings, even the labels to see if they are loose. Then i take great care to repair any faulty areas, replace broken or rusty zips and press studs, and also make sure that every item i list has the appropriate vintage buttons of its era, taken from my own precious collection of vintage buttons. Most items are washed in my trusty machine, some hand washed and others will be dry cleaned. When carefully dried I iron them with love, and yes that includes the lining! Why am i telling you all this, so that you know that a Tickeryboo garment can do straight into your wardrobe x
