________________________________
MEASUREMENTS:
Photos taken on a size 2 dress form: For best fit please refer to measurements below:

Bust point: 36” (across bustline-from side seam to side seam at the underarm-& doubled)
Waist 24-25”
Hips 36”
Bodice Length 14”
Skirt length 28.5”
Total Length 42.5”
Sweep 38”
Strap measurements: 5” wide x 32.5”

Condition: Beautiful pre-owned vintage condition. Freshly hand laundered and ready to wear.
Notable Issues:
1) some faint yellowing inside on the lining, as shown in the last : on the rim of the under arms, and inside the back of the skirt about halfway down. They are very faint, and do not detract-I had a hard time getting them to show up in the photos because they are on the faint side.
2) Modification: the side seams have been taken in approximately .75-1 inch. The stitch size was used very small and would be difficult to remove without damaging the fabric. I measured the dress as is after the modification-Refer to the last photo for up close details of notable issues. Please refer to photos for further descriptions and information.

*All of my items are vintage, so there is some wear. (They may not be 100% free of minor defects, as they have already been loved... but I do my best to note everything I can detect)

Please understand that vintage clothing and vintage fabric have age to it, and even when in excellent condition, they show wear. They are not new items. Even the most cared for vintage items of clothing is likely to have some wear and tear and vintage pieces can commonly have tiny spots/marks, fading/yellowing, or pin holes. I attempt to present all damage by describing and photographing it but sometimes little things get by me.
