All accessories (belts, jewelry, crinolines, pins, etc.) are for style inspiration only unless indicated.

♛Measurements

About a modern size XS to small-waisted S; please allow room for ease and the kind of fit you prefer. Extra generous interior fabric allowances and darts allow tailoring larger or smaller. Make sure you allow for enough room to get the kind of fit you like.

Bust (underarm area measured flat, then doubled) to about 36"/37"

Waist about 24"

Hips full

Center shoulder to hem about 40" and has about 1" hem

Armhole circumference about 15"

♛Condition

Very good vintage shape with minor imperfections. 65+ years old.

There's one tiny, faint grayish mark at side skirt above hem as shown + two similar dots at the hem.

The lowermost waist button is a replacement somebody added along the way; you could replace all of them, or just leave it be -- does not attract attention at a glance. Priced and sold as mildly wounded, perfect for those of us who don't require "perfect" in our older pieces.

Our pieces are true vintage with a history and a past life, not newly made reproductions. Minor signs of previous use and age are normal and expected for all true vintage pieces. Flaws and issues are carefully noted/photographed, and our detailed photos give you a good idea of the look of each garment. We're happy to answer any questions you might have to help you with online purchasing.
