Here is a sweet two (2) piece dress ensemble suitable for Easter, spring, and parties, etc. The dress bodice is constructed of pink lightweight cotton on top; the skirt bottom is made of thicker, texturized robin's egg blue fabric. The dress features short sleeves, front pleat panels with decorative pearl buttons, front skirt pleat panels, back plastic button fastened sash, and back plastic button closure. The matching long-sleeve bolero jacket (geometric/candy stripe design) has front and back collars, is partially lined, and has tie closure. The jacket is made of medium weight, texturized cotton that matches the dress skirt. Ensemble dates from the 1960s era. 

This is a home-sewn item made by someone with excellent seamstress skills. As such, it has no size indications. Based upon current day measurements, it is likely a child size four (4), five (5), or six (6). Please compare the following exterior measurements to clothing your child already wears:

DRESS

- Chest (armpit-to-armpit) on one side is 12.75 inches (total 25.5 inches)

- Waist on one side (where pink and blue meet) on one side is 12.25 inches (total 24.5 inches)

- Dress length from shoulder to hem is 23.75 inches. The hem can be let down another 1.5 inches if desired.

- Sleeve length from shoulder seam to edge is 3.25 inches. 

- Your child's measurements need to be generally smaller in order for this item to fit.

- There is no stretch to this fabric.

BOLERO JACKET

- Chest (armpit-to-armpit) on one side is 14 inches (total 28 inches)

- Length from shoulder to hem is 9.25 inches.

- Sleeve length from shoulder seam to cuff is 11 inches.

This is a used, pre-owned item. It has excellent construction with quality, substantial feel. It has no tears, rips, or holes.  However, it has the following flaws:

- One closure button is missing on the backside (see photos). This is an easy fix.

- There are three small stray marks/minor stains: Shoulder of the bolero jacket, front bodice pleat (looks like pencil?), and front skirt pleat near hem (see photos). All are light colored and generally non-detracting. The dress has been laundered in non-fragrance detergent, air dried, and ironed. The three marks were not soaked or stain-treated and may very well easily be removed.  

- Where the back sash is attached on one side, the stitching needs reinforcement (easy fix).
