FABRIC/COLORS: Jersey knit fabric in vibrant (but not neon) orange. Based on fiber burn test, seems to be acrylic. A label suggests dry clean only. Cape is done in chiffon, no fabric to snip for a burn test.
TAGS: No maker's tag
CLOSURES: Dress has nylon zipper in back with a hook & eye at the top. The capelet has a hook & eye at the neck.
CONDITION: Mint. I don't see any stains, holes, tears, snags or other issues, and no signs of previous wear.
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.
