Shoulder to hem about 39" and has almost 2" hem

♛Condition

Good shape with some small cosmetic imperfections, but still wears well. Cleaned and bright. 70+ years old.

The words printed on my dress form's belly can slightly be seen through the fabric in photos; these are not marks on the dress. :)

To note: some scattered teensy holes and pinholes -- see photos. Still feels sturdy, though, and that junior's styling is *chef's kiss*. A great piece for someone who values style and pricing over "perfection."
