The shape is very of its day with a 1940s aesthetic combined with high cut arms (comfortable) and a hemline falling below the knee.
There is vintage size label is 10. In my opinion the fit is an XS / UK 8
The fabric has some natural stretch. I managed to squeeze myself into this dress for the photo / video although I can confirm that it was way too small and like an XS / S or UK 8 / 10
We advise that you check all the measurements below.
The garment is a light weight and unlined.
Good Aged Condition with some small holes seen in a couple of areas around the centre ruched seam (see last 3 photos) Easily repaired as busy pattern is very forgiving.
