A pretty junior sized dress. Because of the narrower shoulders this is about a US00.

Size: XXS, up to about a US0-00. Check measurements against your bod and similar clothes, especially the shoulders as they are narrower than modern sizes.

Stamp/Label: None. This is vintage handmade.

Condition: Very good condition. No snags, tears, shatter, etc. We noticed 1) slightly stressed darts in back, 2) various light spotting that is lost in folds and not so very visible without super close scrutiny. These do not deter from use or beauty. We aired out only, leaving cleaning to new owner as they desire.

Materials: silk blend, taffeta

Provenance: late 30's

Care: dry-clean only.
