Measurements

About a modern XS to S cusp. There's an inherent stretchiness to the textile, as detailed, which is nice!

Please allow room for movement and ease and the kind of fit you are going after. Generous fabric allowances inside to tailor larger or smaller!

Bust (underarm to underarm measured flat, then doubled) 32" slack to about 38" pulled taut

Waist 24" slack to about 28" taut

Hips to about 42"

Bodice, shoulder to waist about 15"

Shoulder to hem about 47 1/2"

Shoulders - no seams

Armhole opening circumference about 16"

Sleeves capped

Condition

Great vintage shape, sturdy and beautifully preserved. 75+ years old. 

I found a tiny pinhole on one side of the doubled-up fabric of the neckline and one near a vertical bodice seam. These don't affect wear and won't be noticed when worn.
