CLOSURES: The dress pulls on over the head
CONDITION: Very good to excellent. I don't see any stains, holes, tears or snags. The only small flaw is a tiny area near the bottom of the bodice right on the center seam - it feels firm, and I think there may have been a rhinestone there at one time. To me, it's quite subtle and not significant, but I have included a photo close-up.
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.
