xilamonster@vtgobsessed The seam is split neatly and can be repaired. I can send you photos of it if you'd like.

prevostjoeHi, I’m not sure how to message you directly but what is the measurement across the waist? Thank you

xilamonster@prevostjoe I'm not sure exactly. I used to wear it when I was about a 24" waist and it was tightly fitted. The waist is definitely the smallest part and contains boning. If this still works for you, I will accept your latest offer.
