Dress is a Rock Follies Vintage Size: 8 - 10 please note although the measurements are more like a 12 the dress has to go on over the head as like many of these antique dresses there are not opening (zips or poppers) so it probably was tied with a ribbon around the waist to get the fit once it was on or worn loose, to achieve a relaxed look even though the original wearer would have worn some sort of corset restrictor. Included in the sale is an original 1920s cotton petticoat to wear under the dress, (worth £65)
