Short vent in front, as well ERA: 1950s COLOR: brown with black MATERIAL: unlabeled heavy cotton or blend LINING: unlined LABEL: Cliff Macklin Classic Masters, California ORIGIN: Made in USA SIZE: unlabeled, best fits a L, please see measurements MEASUREMENTS (fabric doesn't stretch) LENGTH: 41.75" BUST: 42" BODICE LENGTH: 18" WAIST: 30" HIPS: 43" SHOULDERS: 16" SLEEVE: 16" HEM: 4" CONDITION: The top-most button is black rather than the brown plaid; button is covered by the bow. There's a very light fade across the left shoulder. There is quite a bit of room at the side seams for take out, if necessary (could probably add up to 4"). There's a tiny hole where, probably, the string belt loop was attached on the right hip (there are no loops on either side now and there are no other holes), and if the dress had a belt, (they most often do from this era) that belt is missing. Dress appears to be unworn and is in otherwise excellent condition! *Model size: L Height: 5'5" Bust: 39" Waist: 31" Hips: 39"
