The fabric has a sheen to it that catches the light and makes it appear whiter from some angles than others. It looks different from different angles and in different lightings. Photos taken on the wood were taken with no overhead light - just natural lighting. Photos in the hallway were taken with basically only artificial light.

Basque waist.

There is a small hole near the neckline. Might be able to cover with a brooch or some added embellishment - But make your own judgment call.

Some slight lightening under armpits (looks slightly lighter / whiter) - see photos. Snap on bow needs to be stitched back (it’s still attached, but needs reinforcement). Some loose stitching and some small flaws - I have photographed all that I noticed. This is 60+ years old, so there might be something small I missed outside of this.

Zipper seems to go up and down without issue (the zipper is by a brand called MARk)

This was soaked but not laundered - so it will need a hand launder

Estimated modern small, possibly a smaller medium - but see measurements
