Unique long sleeve full length tea gown is a great size. 38" bust, 28" waist, 14" across shoulders and 55" long.The V neck bodice has a lace collar that extends across shoulders in back. The front mimicks a lace bolero that is attached with 2 layers of net underneath, the net also in back with a long panel over the net  that extends to below waist. 3 tiny pink bows over the snaps on bodice front. The cuffs of the long sleeves have peach ribbon and wide lace that is pointed on the hands.
The bodice has snaps, also at waist and on left side of the skirt. The skirt is softly gathered and so detailed! The lower area has 3 wide tucks, the bottom 2 with lace trimmed edges. There are 6 areas of 9 each corded buttons decorating the edges of the tucks. Between these button embellishments is seen 4 areas of the most beautiful wide lace that matches that of the collar and the bolero. This is a beautiful gown and the semi-sheer fabric appears to be in very good condition. There is a 1" old mend on the back of the skirt just above the first tuck on right side in back that I don't think would be noticeable when worn due to the gathers in the skirt. Very clean and white.
