Please take a minute and read my guide to how I measure everything! You can find it in the bottom row of links on every page of the site.
I measure the actual garment so that you can compare it to one of your own that fits you perfectly, rather then trying to sort countless sizing vintage methods into modern day standards.
I then sorted everything into these size charts and into size categories for you to use as a guideline to help you shop quicker!

1940s Silk Two Piece Ensemble
Bust: 16" flat across the back from side seam to side seam
Top length: 14" to waist seam + 8" ruffled hem
Skirt Waist: 13" flat across the back from side seam to side seam
Skirt Hips: free
Skirt length: 30" from wasit to bottom hem
Both the top and bottom are unlined and close with a series of snaps original to the piece - I have pictured how it all closes here. The tie has a few scattered spots - they look like old pin marks. The pink is a much truer pink than what the photos show. It should be dry cleaned when cleaned again in the future.
Modern Sizing equivalent: SML (6-8)
Item# E102
All items are shipped cleaned, wrapped in tissue & boxed.
All Shrimpton Couture garments are selected based on their condition and quality so unless a specific condition note is listed, you can expect your garment to be in near-mint or mint condition
