Brand: Mitchell Frocks Metal Talon side zipper. Today's size: XL 16/18, but refer to measurements better fit. Ruched Front bodice yoke (not spandex ruched) that leads to a gathered bust. Pussybow crewneck, subtle back bodice darts, and subtle puff sleeves. Fruit Basket Buttons: Plastic fruit and basket handles, and the baskets are sugarbead exterior. Fabric type Unknown. It is a heavy sheer. Due to its heavier weight it is not chiffon or light flowey fabric, it haa more drape than a airy flow.

Back Right armpit has strain at the seam for 2" to 3" (Left arm looks to have had a patch/gusset added for a little extra room, but Right armpit does not.) Buyer check the seams throughout as I have seen a few areas that could use a couple resecuring stitches. Dress needs to be washed... more details will be put in the comments....

sparkyvintage Despite all these minor flaws I truly can see that this dress is in great condition. It is ready to wear despite the flaws and with a wash and a little attention here and there, it is truly a charming dress. Comes from a pet free and smoke free environment

sparkyvintage Dress needs to be washed as there is body moisture marks throughout (mostly at underarms, back neckline, and areas on the bodice and skirt. Couple moth nips Belt loop on left side of dress is frayed and broken. There are places on the dress (mostly the skirt) that have a sheen that is a classic look of someone ironing the dress on the outside and not the inside, therefore leaving a 'heat-sheen' on the fabric.

sparkyvintage All fruit basket Buttons are hand sewn on and the top two are meant to have snap buttons. Top snaps are secure, 2nd to top button is missing a snap, bottom three buttons are sewn on the fabric but no snaps are sewn on.

sparkyvintage @retrodoll13 Hi, depending on where the hips land on the wearer, there is about 47"-52'' room for hips. I am SOOO sorry for not seeing this cmoment sooner!! My alerts appear not to be on for comments so I didnt see your question until now.
