It is magical 💃

@xilamonster what is the damage to the underarm? Thanks!
xilamonster
@vtgobsessed The seam is split neatly and can be repaired. I can send you photos of it if you'd like.

@xilamonster Thank you! Seam pops are an easy fix.

Do you have measurements for this dress?
xilamonster
@scarlettcao11 Send me the ones you're looking for and I will measure them for you.

@xilamonster Waist and bust measurements?
prevostjoe
Hi, I’m not sure how to message you directly but what is the measurement across the waist? Thank you
xilamonster
@prevostjoe I'm not sure exactly. I used to wear it when I was about a 24" waist and it was tightly fitted. The waist is definitely the smallest part and contains boning. If this still works for you, I will accept your latest offer.

@xilamonster Thank you for getting back to me, I love it but it’s just too small.
xilamonster
Yeah it's tiny. That's how I got such a good deal. Women were starving themselves back then.

Hi! Thank you for sending a counteroffer. Unfortunately I can’t afford anything over $300.

It looks beautiful! What is the measurement for the bust area? Thank you!

Hi! Could you measure the bust and waist for me? Also, could you post a front-on picture of the draping around the bust? Thank you!
