♛Measurements

About a modern XS to S; please allow room for ease and the kind of fit you desire.

Bust (underarm area doubled) about 34" slack, 38" pulled flat and taut, but meant to be worn roomy and original owner was XS/Small

Shoulder to hem about 15 1/4"

Shoulder seam adjusts with the drawstring cord at the neck

Sleeves, shoulder to cuff about 28" but made to grip at your wrists and puddle amazingly

♛Condition

Very good vintage condition -- no flaws of note, but you can tell the textiles used are either early 20th century or antique, and they are stunning. Blouse was constructed nearly 50 years ago and is in solid shape.
