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.

RETURN POLICY FOR MAILED ITEMS: Full price items are eligible for a full refund as long as the item is sent back unworn with all its original tags intact and returned within 48 hours of receipt; postage is not refundable. In most cases, items which are special-ordered for you are not returnable. However, exceptions are certainly possible if arrangements are made in advance. It usually depends on which DvF source we're ordering your items from; each place has a different policy and if I am not bound by a strict return policy, I can extend the same flexibility to you. Postage is not refundable and any special delivery costs for special order is usually also not refundable. Finally, all sale items are eligible for store credit only. In the event an item is mistakenly misrepresented or shipped, it is eligible for a full refund and half the postage will also be reimbursed. Other situations will be handled on a case-by-case basis, so please contact me if you have any questions.

In most cases, items which are special-ordered for you are not returnable. However, exceptions are certainly possible if arrangements are made in advance.
