This dress would best fit a modern size S, but please refer to measurements:
• 18" across chest (fits up to 36" bust)
• 16" across waist

All measurements are taken flat in inches. When considering fit, compare it to a garment you own that fits well. For waist and hip measurements, double it to get the full circumference.
