It looks like she added two small extenders at the waistband (pic). Waist measures 28", Hip free, length waist to hem 39". This Ensemble is in the MOST AMAZING CONDITION I have ever found for pieces of this early age. Completely Wearable, I found only one tiny pinhole in the outer layer of the skirt (pic), and that of course you won't even find, a few lessor points of wear at the seam of skirt (pic). No underarm stains, No fade, No exterior tears, No odors, a few whitish smudges at the velvet hem protector (pic), they're chaffing off with my fingernail, a damp cloth may rub them out. A few of the bones have poked thru at the lining, there's a worn-thru area at the interior lining of bodice near the edge (pic), All of these things are so minor they're not noteworthy imho. A couple of small discolored spots at the green cotton that lines the skirt (pic). Amazing Pieces of Early Victorian Dress...BUY-IT-NOW!
