Shoulder to waist: 14.5" with both shoulder buttons done up, or 15" with just one shoulder button done up

CONDITION
Very good condition. Hem has been altered, there is a faint fade line where the old hem were, see photos. A couple of small marks, see photos, these hide quite well in the print, so not very noticeable.
