If you use your personal actual measurements, you should always figure needing two inches extra for breathing room. Label- An original by Parnes Feinstein. Vintage size 8 Closes with plastic buttons down the front of the blouse and a back plastic zipper on the skirt. The vest does not have any closures Fabric is a medium weight blue cotton velveteen. The blouse is a lightweight and semi sheer nylon poly. The blouse and skirt are unlined. The vest is fully lined. The floral appliques on the skirt are made of the same material as the blouse. ConditionNo stains, holes, or tears. The stiff and clean, mint condition of the paper lot tags tell this set has not been worn very much, if at all. It has a hand sewn hem and a inside seam remainder line that tells me this skirt has been shortened about 1 1/4 inch. What Diane Likes About This OutfitIt is always a small miracle when you find a complete set like this, still together after all these years. That is the glory of going through an estate sale, where the original owner kept things in their closet the whole time. I like this set all together, for a complete vintage look. But, I also like the pieces all on their own. The sheer blouse has great floral graphics. Because it is semi sheer, it calls for a interesting undergarment. I think this top can be styled up in many appealing and varied looks. The vest on its own gives some funky hippy vibes. I could see it with a poet or ruffled blouse underneath. Maybe with jeans and a big belt buckle. Maybe with a mini skirt and turtleneck. The skirt is a applique marvel. Whoever did the zig-zag seam around the floral pattern, was very skilled. That is not an easy thing to do. On its own, it has an arts and crafts vibe that is more elevated than most. All together, or separately, this set calls for a creative owner and creative treatment. Fashion is what people tell you to wear. Style is what comes from your own inner thing.
