FABRIC/COLORS: Light weight jersey knit, feels like a synthetic blend. Background color is dark blue, and most of the fabric is printed with tiny flowers on stalks (maybe lily of the valley?) in white and green. The flowers become denser and evolve into a border print with a luxurious variety of flowers in vibrant shades of pink, green, lighter blue, purple and white. The bodice is lined in sheer black jersey, and the same fabric is used for the upper part of the inner skirt.
TAGS: No tags at all, but looks professionally made
CLOSURES: N/A, the dress slips on over the head.
CONDITION: Excellent. I don't see any stains, holes, tears or other issues. There's a single thread loop for a belt but no belt with the dress.
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.
