2006 Wraps: Summer & Autumn

The 2006 items are split into three postings. This one covers the Summer & Autumn releases.

This posting showcases wraps from the 2006 Summer&Autumn collections. DvF is VERY strict about discounts so don't expect to see current season items at greatly reduced prices until at least 6 months after the items arrive in shops, and that only applies to whatever is still around, which is not much, more often than not! If you plan on purchasing 5 or more DvFs, I can help negotiate a 10% discount for you -- which is enough to cover your NYC sales tax costs -- but the items need to be in stock at the DvF shop, so move quickly!

DvFs are popular and sell out unbelievably fast, so in addition to tracking down specific items for my clients, I will also pick up a wrap here and there, as I go along, if I think the item will sell out -- so check my other blog entries below to see what I have in stock of items that are sold out in shops and what great finds I have been able to get at discount prices. However, anything available in the shops can be ordered for you, provided that your size is still available or can be found through one of my many vendor relations. Happy shopping!

  **be careful of the fakes being sold on eBay! They are not nearly as nice as the real thing with all the little DvF details that make the difference!**
• Midnight Taffy
  
• White Taffy -- US6 is the LAST ONE!
  
• Black Taffy -- US6 is the LAST ONE!
  

DvFs are generally made in sizes US2-US12, with US0 and US14 occasionally available. Please note that DvF sizes run small compared to mainstream labels; I am considered a US4 but I wear mainly US6 and US8 in DvF's designs. If you have never tried on or purchased a DvF before, please contact me to discuss your measurements so that we can figure out what your standard DvF size is. Her items also vary in fit by item, fabric, style and season, so I am more than happy to assist you in ensuring that you purchase the correct size.

Available sizes (X) or sizes that can be ordered (?):
(add 4 to US size to convert to approx UK size, i.e. US6 equates to UK10)

If you see something you like, please contact me to discuss sizing and/or to work out details such as shipping preference, total price and payment options (email: FashionForwardStore@hotmail.com).

All items available for pick-up in NYC. Shipping cost is additional and I prefer USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation for US addresses and Global Express for International addresses.
Cash, PayPal, Western Union, USD money orders and USD bank drafts accepted. Credit/debit PayPal payments have an additional 5% surcharge added to cover the fees that PayPal assesses, so if you can pay by non-credit/non-debit card PayPal, you can avoid having to pay that additional 5% surcharge.
