♛Measurements

Fits a range of smaller sizes (modern XS, S, maybe smaller end of M) due to stretch and your preferred fit. Obviously if you are smaller it'll fit more loosely, and larger figures will have more a body conscious, snug fit.  We did not stretch fabric completely tight for measurements. Please allow room for fit and ease as desired.

Bust (underarm area measured flat, then doubled) to about 34" slack, 42" stretched

Waistband of sweater top about 28" slack, 34" stretched

Length of top shoulder to hem about 22"

Shoulders - no seams

Sleeves about 19 1/2"

Waist of skirt about 22" slack, 30" stretched gently

Hips about 30" slack, 40" stretched

Length of skirt about 33"

♛Condition

Very good vintage condition, especially given age, with some minor signs of previous wear as is normal. Clean and with beautiful presentation. 80+ years old.

To note: one underarm has a subtle trace of fade and wear at the underarm seam, hidden during wear. The other underarm has more of this vague fading spreading somewhat onto the side bodice. During wear or display, this imperfection does not attract attention, especially since it's layered over a chemise or skin. You can see it best when sweater is spread flat, as in the flat lay photo. Accounted for in pricing. See photos.

Nitpick: the skirt's waistband elastic is quite tight and it makes this area bunch up. This is hidden by sweater during wear. If it bugs you, you can swap out the elastic to one that's looser or wider in width, so it lays flat.
