xilamonster @vtgobsessed The seam is split neatly and can be repaired. I can send you photos of it if you'd like.

prevostjoe Hi, I’m not sure how to message you directly but what is the measurement across the waist? Thank you

xilamonster @prevostjoe I'm not sure exactly. I used to wear it when I was about a 24" waist and it was tightly fitted. The waist is definitely the smallest part and contains boning. If this still works for you, I will accept your latest offer.

prevostjoe @xilamonster Thank you for getting back to me, I love it but it’s just too small.

xilamonster Yeah it's tiny. That's how I got such a good deal. Women were starving themselves back then.

mosspebblefog Hi! Could you measure the bust and waist for me? Also, could you post a front-on picture of the draping around the bust? Thank you!
