Bust (underarm area doubled) about 39" fully closed down the front, 44" pulled more tight

Waistband about 28" slack, 34" pulled more taut

Shoulder to hem about 19 1/2"

Shoulders about 17"

♛Condition

Good, wearable vintage condition. Sanitized, retains minor issues. 60+ years old.

To note: some scattered little things here, but I don't have the spoons to fix a bunch of minor imperfections. 

Little hole near armhole/shoulder, 2-3 scattered pinhole-to-even-smaller holes on cuffs/sleeves, micro-hole at lower back, some faint/ghostly discoloration at rear of sleeves and a small, faint splash spot on back sleeve near a cuff. Could be something else tiny, but looks just like photos.

I think all of this could be remedied with some work, or just enjoy as-is.
