Size: XS-S, approx. US0-2, maybe some 4s. Please check measurements, especially armhole measurement, against your similar clothing and bod.

Note: Mannie is set to be approx 68 inches tall (172. 72 cm)

Condition: Very good vintage for a 70-something year old piece of apparel. No tears or rips. Small things we see:

1) piece was dyed gray at some time in its life; as seen in the lining.

2) Faint fade along edge of one of the underarms;

3) Faint dark spots from being dyed, one in front and one in back; shot in bright light for disclosure but not so noticeable when piece is worn

4) Previous owner told us that she cut off the sleeves, in the 1970's, and finished off with a clean edge.

We have not cleaned this, just aired it out and made sure beads were fastened which they seem to be. Very wearable still.
