The Polka Dot Attic Online Store Info and Policies

About the costumes: All of my costumes are hand-made or re-purposed in America by me and sold from California. Some are new, some vintage, some re-purposed; all authentic-looking and cotton for your pioneer/wax museum/biography report/event. Check out our Facebook photos page to see items that we've sold and are currently selling. I do not order any of this from a catalog, so I can't send a dress in another size. I can't mail the exact shirt in a photo below. These are samples but NOT the actual item you will receive unless it's new suspenders or a new white apron or bonnet.

Sizing: Get out your tape measure! I can fit your child if you tell me five things:

1.) his/her grade

2.) shirt size with a number (6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, etc.)

3.) height in inches for dresses, length from waist to top of shoe for skirts

4.) build (slim, average, husky) and

5.) color preference.

For boys, I need to know head size for hats (small, med, large for his age - you can measure around his head if you want to be exact).

All bonnets are for 3rd-6th graders and women with small heads.

Please view the Facebook photos first if you want to see the exact outfit you are choosing.

If you don't have time and you TRUST me to choose the outfit, I will be happy to. I've been doing this for 8 years. I've had four unhappy customers in 8 years (that's pretty good odds, don't you think?).

Purchases: Please note that many items featured below have been sold. I have similar but not exact items for sale unless it’s a new item.

Buy them below with Paypal or call (925) 838-8004 or (925) 519-4964 to use a credit card, Visa or MC.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Please take care when choosing the sizes and colors of your items. Altered clothing cannot be returned.
