A pretty junior sized dress for dance, flamenco and evening soirees. Because of the narrower shoulders this is about a US0-2.

Size: about a US0-2, some 4s depending on the person's shoulders. Check measurements against your bod and similar clothes, especially the shoulders as they are narrower than modern sizes.

Stamp/Label: None. This is vintage handmade.

Condition: Very good condition. No snags, tears, shatter, etc. We noticed 1) small, faint white spot on chest, 2) one snap is bigger than the others. These do not deter from use or beauty. We aired out only, leaving cleaning to new owner as they desire. See pics. Sold as is.
