Size: Sz S-some Ms, up to approx. a modern US8. Check measurements against your bod and similar clothing.

Condition: Very good vintage. VERY MINOR things: 1) one side of boning slips and needs to be reshaped to new owner's body, 2) buttons on jacket are a very slight shade darker than jacket itself, 3) every so slight discoloration, back of neck of jacket.

We gave this a good, gentle soak to treat stains and freshen up dress; getting about 99% there! We leave further, more comprehensive cleaning to new owner as/if desired, as well adding any stiffener to organza. This would be done during the standard fitting process.

Sold AS IS, these things disclosed. See pics, shot in bright light so you can see the details.
