If you didn't grow up with the luxury of a personal maid to care for your wardrobe, read this! In the "old days", the art of home making was taught in school, to girls only of course and always included the care and upkeep of your wardrobe, imagine that! We only sell clothing that was well cared for by one of the above. We avoid those items that partied hard and spent too many nights slept in, walked on or sad lonely things that spent too many years hanging around uncared for and waiting and absorbing odors, yuck. It's just unpleasant to have to make excuses for something; no one wants to hear them anyway. There is one of us here who has a teeny tiny issue with "second hand" so we have the "Nancy test", it doesn't get by Nancy if it isn't pretty close to perfect, we promise!
