FABRIC/COLORS: Cotton with a beautiful floral print in shades of turquoise and purple and white with moss green accents.
TAGS: No tags, this dress may have been hand made.
CLOSURES: Dress slips on over the head
CONDITION: Very good. Color is uniformly faded. I have repaired a small rip at the left side-seam near the waist. I used a bit of iron-on bonding fabric to strengthen the repair, since it was very near the seam - it is invisible from the outside. It is shown in the last 2 photos, first inside and the second outside. I have also stitched a few small seam openings.
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.
