PLEASE....always ask for help if needed with size. Thank you.

CONDITION: Excellent condition.

SIZE: Vintage label reads size Large...I would consider this more of a medium to a medium large as this would have been vintage sizing. It is quite difficult to measure for fit. We show it on a size 4 mannequin, and pinned part of the bust in back.

Size is For reference only. Always use measurements provided below. We want this to fit you! My customers that call with any size or measurement concerns always have the best results. PLEASE email or call with ANY size concerns.

~Length: 59" (it is not a complete maxi when worn as the tunic caused dress to blouse)

~Bust: 40-50" (obviously meant to be drapey)

~Shoulders: 18"
