Dandelion Vintage - Vintage Plus Sized Clothing & Lingerie page 2

Note about measuring - The measurements listed are the size person that the garment will fit. So, if the measurements say 'fits 48 inch bust' that means it will fit someone with a bust/chest that is 48 inches around the fullest part. I always allow room to move when taking measurements, so the actual garment width will be slightly bigger than the measurements that I give.
