CLOSURES: Six large flat mother-of-pearl buttons down the front of the bodice, ending about 6" below the waist. There is a hook & eye at the waist, and a pair of snaps at the neckline, hidden by the buttoned roll collar. There are thread belt loops but no belt. I have shown the dress in some photos with a belt from my closet - it is not included with purchase.
CONDITION: I have repaired an open seam in the left rear armscye. No stains, holes, tears 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.
