Remember this?

Well it doesn't work, for either me or Miss Sis, who I outbid to win. PM me if you're interested! It's breaking my heart just sitting here. The color is a gorgeous dark or burnt orange, not red at all - SO autumn, and SO needs to be worn.

The seller's original measurements are fairly accurate:
37-40 Bust
26-29 Waist
31-40 Hips

It's 41" long. I believe this is hand-knit, since it stretches less than the machine-knit outfits I have. 29" waist is absolute max, even over shoulders when putting it on. It is short-waisted. The skirt is fairly snug, too tight on my 38" hips. The sleeves are for slender arms, although they weren't crazy tight. My arms are slender but not scrawny and they were fine. Shoulder and sleeve length was fine on me, and I'm average to long in these areas.
It's in fantastic shape and looks like it's scarcely been worn.
Its original buttons are darling, dark brown plastic (I think) and add so much. They're all present, on the front and the cuffs.

As a consolation prize, I did win this:

Black wool, late 1930s, long sleeves. Amazing tucked detail on the front. YES! The model is exactly my measurements, except I'm 5" taller!

Rockin' score, Sunny.

I like the buttons on the black one better anyhow

I'm with Lady Day - the buttons on the black dress are more appealing and it comes with a belt. I feel your pain about the fit issues of the red dress, though.

 

[Sunny]

Aww, thank you! It's disappointing, but you're both right - I like the black one better already. It's a far better color on me, too. I may not have bid at all if I knew how orange it was. That's one of the few colors that I really don't wear. Now it's just the money that's bugging me. It was not cheap.

The love black dress, I can see it go with alot of other items

I just bought this:

And though I won't be able to wear it now till next summer, I'm delighted because I've been searching for a pinafore dress in my size ever since the last one I bought was way too small and had to be donated to my best friend.

 

[maggiethespy]

Fleur, that's gorgeous!

 

[Sunny]

How pretty, Fleur! That's one of the prettiest pinafore dresses I've seen.

Sadley there is no lucite zipper pull but I am hoping I can find one.

Is your purse a muff also? I have a similar one (that I got for $5.00 at a flea market from a little old lady who bought it in the 1940s and never used it) and it has a round lucite pull that doubles as a handle that you wear around your wrist like a bracelet. It's also a muff.

I just realised this is another with back buttons, the single girl's worst enemy! lol

I just got my first pencil skirt. I've been hesitant to try them on my figure, but I think it works.

And, after bidding on so many coats, I finally won one.

Great skirt.

fftopic: And completely randomly, you always have the best posture in your photos.

 

[Laura Chase]

You look so beautiful here, with the gorgeous fur bits on your coat and the gorgeous autumn colors behind you...

 

[StaceFace]

You look super in your skirt, kamikat. I'm also very jealous of your coat, in the best way possible .

I'm a luggage fanatic, and I just love these. The lining is a great color and looks like it is in great shape!
