Vintage 1940/50s dress Large

Beautiful sheer floral vintage dress by Mynette size large. Dress has no size tag but this brand was known for making plus size clothing. No stains or holes. Super sheer. Will need slip. Metal zipper at waist and hook and eye at neck. Knee length. Length is 44.5”, chest is 22” across and waist is 18.5”. I choose to call this a size 16 based on its measurements and is just my best guess. Please compare measurements to other dresses you own for best fit.
