FABRIC/COLORS: Black rayon crepe. The beading is all glass, small black round and bugle beads along with small pink beads and pink and cream faux pearls.
TAGS: No tags seen at all.
CLOSURES: 11.5" side seam metal zipper and a short placket at the back of the neck that closes with a hook & eye.
CONDITION: The skirt and sleeve hems were out, so I have resewn them by hand.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
