Note on fit: We do not recommend maxing out the measurements on this dress. The lace fabric used in the 1950s is not as stretchy/pliable as modern lace and can tear if too much stress is put on the fabric. Sadie is 5’7 32-25-33 with a modern dress size 0, letter size XS/S and a size 25 in jeans.
***All items are measured while the garment is laying flat. The bust, waist & hip measurements have already been doubled for your convenience.***
