This dress belonged to my great grandmother in the 50’s. She was very tiny and short so she had to get all her clothes hand made for her. I got it when she passed and wore it a few times when I was in high school. Not for anything in particular that I can remember, but just to try it on. I kept it in what I think is great condition, and it made the move with me to California.
I think it is time to let go of it, especially since I am white and feel uncomfortable wearing it when it is clearly inspired by Asian culture and dress. It will just sit in my closet otherwise, and I have one or two more pieces of hers that I’m going to keep.
It fits like an XS. I’m 5’2” and a 32B with a 25.5 waist and a 31.5 hip and it fits me nicely. There is no stretch to this dress. It may look short for the time period, but remember my great grandmother was shorter that I am, so it would have fit her more appropriately.
