    Waist - 39"
    Hips - 46"

    Made from a seersucker material. Seersucker was an allowable substitute for cotton poplin in late 1942 / 1943. The hat is approximately a size 22 (the buttons could be moved in or out to make it bigger or smaller)

     

    It has a white collar sewn in. It does not have epaulets. The dress is missing the belt (the hem is fairly large, so a belt could be made from the hem material). It is marked size 20. Stein Uniform Co. label. The hat and dress are a slightly different color (not very noticeable). Hat has some smudges. Some rust stains on the shoulders. Small light stains by the buttons. Tiny pinprick hole by the shoulder in the back.
