Designer: Lillie Rubin - Made in Hong Kong where all of those beautiful clothes were made in the late ‘60s
Size: No tag but I wear a size 8 - 10 & closer to the size 10 & it fit me but go by the measurements Measurements:
Jacket:
Bust: up to 52 because of the flowing nature of the jacket & the raglan sleeves but you need to leave enough room to drape properly
Waist: 38
Sleeve from neck: 30-1/2
Length: in back from top of collar 33
Top:
Fabric: Condition: Very good - store soil on the back of the jacket about the size of an eraser which will probably come out with a cleaning & blends in pretty well & since it is on the back no one will notice it - top has a double pinhead store soiling on lower front which should come out with a cleaning
Care: Dry clean
We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be NEW, please don't expect it to be perfect. Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use/wear. We always list the obvious staining/spotting/discoloration and damage/defects to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing/using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning. I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.
Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I DEFINITELY would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.
The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing.
