Brand: Suzy Perette
Size on tag: None
Fits like: small
Color: hot pink
Material: silk
Condition: Very Good Vintage: The neckline has been altered (its missing one of the straps) from original ad but well done. Hem has a crease where it was let down, you can hem it back to original and that will disappear! Two darts at the bust that can be taken out for more room if desired. Tiny faint mark on the hem (see last pic). Original Pellon lining on the skirt looks to have been taken out or it may be original. Most of our Suzy's have that lining, but a couple didn't have it so its hard to know!

Bust (underarm seam) : 34" (it was taken in by about 1/2" on each side so you can let it out if desired!)
