FABRIC/COLORS: Cotton fabric with a wonderful Japanese inspired print - kokeshi dolls, cherry blossom branches, pagodas and arches against a dark-blue-over-red brush stroked background. The foreground uses white and a bit of yellow, along with pops of crimson. The bodice back is lined in pellon.
TAGS: Hoaloha, made in Hawaii.
CLOSURES: Long metal Talon zipper down the back, hook & eye at the top. The halter strap attaches with coconut shell buttons inside the upper bust, several buttonholes for adjustable fit or can be removed to wear strapless.
CONDITION: Looks like it's been very lightly worn. No stains, holes, tears, fading or other issues noted.
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.
