1930s XS Prairie Blue Dress Cottagecore Handmade One Of A Kind Hand Sewn Empire Extra Small
I don't know what size this dress is but I couldn't get it to go on my medium mannequin.  I'm calling it an extra small.  Please look at measurements and use your best judgement.  This could be for a young thin teenager or very thin adult.  The seam that kept me from getting it on my mannequin is the seam that angles up to the bottom of the cleavage, even with the side seam (snaps) open.  This seam is 14" across the front.
Please see measurements below and compare to you favorite fitting dress to get the best fit for you.
Some of the dress is hand stitched, most is machine stitched.
All of the measurements are of the front of the dress laid flat, except the shoulder seam measurement is of the back.
Laid flat and measured from one side to the other side, the hem is 46" wide, (no side seams at the hem).
The waist (at the belt) is 13".
The shoulder across the back shoulder seam to shoulder seam is 13.25"
Pit to pit across the front is 16".
The dress is 55" from the top of the shoulder seam in the front to the bottom hem.
I stress, p
lease see measurements above and compare to you favorite fitting dress to get the best fit for you.
In 1930s vintage preowned, worn condition.  It needs a seamstress and to be laundered.  It has an old vintage smell that you would expect from a dress this old that has been in storage for so many years.  The left armpit seam is torn as well as it has some loose threads where the stitching was.  Both armpits are stained yellow.  Two of the snaps on the left side seam need repair.  There are two small holes near the bottom hem in the back.  There are loose threads.  The pictures show some sun damage, it's there, but not as noticeable as in the pictures.  See photos and measurements.
I'm not sure what kind of material it is.  It feels slippery, kind of like a thick silk but I don't think it is.  Use your best judgement.
Please look closely at the pictures and measurements as they are the biggest part of my description.
