Measurements above are taken of the garment lying flat. For the bust and waist measurement, please double to compare to your own body's measurements. Remember to allow some ease for fit.

Good condition: The original sleeves to this dress had been removed by its prior owner: we found a coordinating green velvet fabric to match the center front velvet panel on the bodice and used a Simplicity Gunne Sax sleeve pattern piece to recreate the original shape. We used a small portion of the fabric from the waist ties to construct matching cuffs. Please note that there is a slight difference in tone between the sleeve and the front, as the sleeve is a green with a blue-undertone color and the front is a green with a yellow-undertone color. There is also a very small, hand-sewn mend at the skirt hem.
