This dress is in stellar shape for being 80 years old! It has the original plastic buttons and ribbon belt. This dress is super beautiful but have to be worn with a slip. It has a medium amount of stretch to it. The only problem with it is a small tear at the waist, which can be easily sewn up. There is slight browning on the edge of the color from age. This dress was definitely a formal in the 1940s :) This item has been properly cleaned! Flat measurements: Shoulder: 17 1/2 inches Bust: 14 inches Waist: 12 1/2 inches Hip: 13 inches (lots of stretch in the fabric here) Length: 39 1/2 inches
