Condition Detail
Satin looks and feels sturdy, though a 1920s era silk is generally only considered wearable with caution; the lace panniers have several breaks that indicates fragility, most have been neatly repaired with black illusion with a few small holes remaining, not noticeable when worn; the buckle has five rhinestones missing, some are darkened, with minor bending to the metal frame, looks "antiqued" at first glance and we consider these flaws good patina, not necessarily a detraction
Washing Instructions
If necessary, dry clean by hand, by a professional experienced with antique clothing
Please note: All measurements (bust - waist - hip) are the maximum body measurements that will fit the item. These measurements already have ease subtracted and they are not actual fabric widths. To get actual fabric widths add two inches at the bust - one inch at the waist and two inches at the hip.
Size listed is a modern size. Any available vintage size is noted in the Label description. Please remember vintage sizes and modern sizes can vary a great deal.
