Lorsque j’ai commandé les bas
Lorsque j’ai commandé les bas et le présentoire je me suis trompé dans l’adresse de livraison. J’ai eu un remboursement pour ma commande. Je voulais recommander le présentoire à gâteau mais il n’existe plus. Je suis vraiment déçue. Merci
Exactly as posted.
Perfect for gifting.
