Hips full

Bodice, shoulder to waist adjust with straps

♛Condition

Great vintage shape. 65+ years old and still bright and crisp.

I found the tiny dot on the rear skirt shown in last photo, and just now I found a wee mark located low down from this one, faint and smaller than the circumference of a pencil eraser's top. There's LOTS of fabric and volume, and set presents as shown, rather impeccably.
