FABRIC/COLOR: Lightweight cotton, color is ecru/beige. Tone-on-tone bands of machine embroidery alternating with drawnwork (aka openwork) that gives a faint glimpse of whatever (skin or lingerie) is underneath.
TAG: Wildman Original
CLOSURES: Eight pearly beige shank buttons down the front, with the placket ending 8" below the waist. There is a snap at the waist. The dress has thread loops for a belt - the gold belt shown in the photos is for illustration and is not included with purchase.
CONDITION: No stains, holes, tears or other issues seen.
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.
