mcginger3 Oh my goodness! This is dreamy! Do you have an approximation of the bust and waist? Is the side seam separated or is the fabric actually torn? So sorry for all the questions. What a stunner!

mcginger3 And I’m very very interested if the measurements are close enough on the dress. Each piece is fabulous, but together is just wonderful.

graveyardgal7 @mcginger3 Hi. The measurements are posted along with the photo of the seam. The dress is definitely couture, the work put into this dress is amazing. I wish I knew more about the maxi skirt design. It is so elegant. It was actually worn as a cape, I was told by one of the playhouse reps. Glad it wasn't destroyed after the performances. Thanks for your interest.

mcginger3 @graveyardgal7 oh, what a miracle that cape/overskirt survived! I’ve witnessed truly horrible neglect, deliberate destruction, and more in a local theater in my town that’s been going since the 30s. The things thrown away in a “costume shop clean out” almost 20 years ago would make any vintage lover sick. I managed to rescue a few things, but I shudder at what I missed. I can’t find the pic with measurements😬.

mcginger3 @graveyardgal7 sorry, I mean almost *10* years ago. It spurred my vintage collecting into hardcore, and now I’m all in lol.

graveyardgal7 @mcginger3 Sorry I'll list separate photos of the skirt /cape and measurements by tomorrow morning. I've lost my daylight. And my piggy 🐷 needs a quick walk before it gets dark. Ttyl. 😊

mcginger3 @graveyardgal7 Hi! Just checking to see if you had a busy and waist measurement on the dress. I understand it’s a busy time of year, but I wanted to let you know I can wait until after the holidays if that helps. No rush, please, but I’m still very interested if the measurements work out. Thank you so much!
