Maximum 32\" chest, 25\" waist, and 35\" hip suggested allowing for ease of wear.  Shaping seams and darts will fit smaller measurements nicely as well.  Shown on XS dress form. Check shoulder and upper arm measurements, as well as these, tend to run smaller in clothing from this era than modern garments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlat measurements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShoulder seam to seam 14. 5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChest pit to pit 16. 5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaist 13\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHip 18. 5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall length 37\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBodice length (shoulder to waist) 14. 5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSleeve length 8. 25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSleeve circumference (measure around upper arm) 11. 5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweep 62\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHas a bit of give but not much actual stretch. For the best idea of fit compare flat measurements above to a similar item that fits you well.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery good condition - someone really loved this dress and took good care of it, and the fabric looks practically new. Some paint on zipper is scratched and some small sections of seam were repaired. A couple of pulls in the fabric - see close up photos. No stains, smells, or holes. Clean and ready to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dress shows evidence of being altered during its lifetime and was dated based on construction as found. Some seam edges appear hand finished \/ merrow stitched while others are unfinished, and inverted pleats were made by adding panels of fabric rather than folding over one piece, indicating that they were created from extra fabric or added later. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZipper was possibly added later or moved, but is consistent with the time period. There is about a 1\/4\" of usable seam allowance throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cute-little-ruin-vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41918114889881,"sku":"VKCA4Q","price":98.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0118\/0132\/9723\/products\/il_fullxfull.3239311333_2xlq__FJ9RYL.png?v=1645807421","url":"https:\/\/shopthrilling.mom\/products\/40s-feed-sack-swing-dress","provider":"THRILLING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
