♛Measurements

About a modern size S to M cusp; please allow room for ease and the kind of fit you prefer. Interior darts + allowances allow tailoring larger or smaller. Make sure you allow for enough room to get the kind of fit you like. Slight "give" to fabric wherever indicated.

Bust (underarm area measured flat across front, then doubled) to 37"/tight 38"

Waist (measured across front seam and doubled) about 26"/tight 28" unbelted

Hips full/to about 40"/tight 41" (~10" below waist seam)

Shoulder to waist seam about 16 1/2"

Shoulder to hem about 43" and has 1" hem

Shoulders suit about 15 1/2" - 16 1/2""

♛Condition

Great vintage shape overall, some subtle signs of having lived an active life.

Nitpicks: small scuffed area at armhole seam (see close-up) was reinforced well on inside so it's strong and wearable. Somebody took the bodice up about 1" along rear waist seam (see close-up) -- could be reversed if desired as the fabric remains inside.
