Labels: Jackson Graves (high-end women's boutique in Minneapolis)
Fiber/Care: unmarked, silk, dry-clean
Condition: the shattered silk bodice lining has been removed. the silk skirt lining has a vertical split at the very back next to its seam. the dress is substantial enough to do without a lining, but if you're a stickler, simply wear a slip. very slight white smudge at underarm edge. Price adjusted accordingly.
*This dress has been professionally dry-cleaned and is ready to wear.*
Garment Measurements:
bodice: 17"/43cm
bust: 36"/91.5cm
waist: 26"/66cm
hips: 42"/106.5cm
length: 42"/106.5cm
Note that the bodice is too big on Lola, who, with only a 32" bust, does not fill it out very well (and clipping the dress to fit her distorts the lines a bit). The dress would look better on a fuller figure.
