Fit on model: as shown
Chest: 34" (non stretch cotton, so I would advice for smaller, 32-33" approx)
Underbust: 32"
Waist: 25.5"
Hip: free
Shoulder to waist: 15"

CONDITION
Good condition.
-Some alterations, but nothing very noticeable when worn, hem has been let down and finished with a bias band. Zipper has been replaced but with an original metal zip. The front bodice has two tiny darts which are not original, but rather a cleverly disguised repair, not easily noticeable in the busy print either.
-One small mark to the cuffs.
Presents beautifully.
