    1930's Vintage Rayon w/ Appliqued Design Dress

    I won this off ebay and it's too small. At first I thought she'd measured wrong, but I was using a new tape measure that has extra at the beginning for some reason. I guess the girls are just too big, and I think even if I lose more weight it's not going to button. So the measurements stated are...
