♛Measurements
About a modern S - M range; please allow room for ease and the kind of fit you desire.
Bust (underarm area doubled) to about 39"/tight 40" pulled flat
Waist about 29"/30" pulled flat, then thread and buckle the sash to suit you
Shoulder to hem about 21"
♛Condition
Great vintage condition. Unfaded -- was lightened in photos for details, but is jet black in person!
Nitpicks: adding a snap or two to the waist sash would help it sit nicely like the photo, as it tends to want to sag due to the buckle's weight. Just a thought.
