The dress will fit a range of sizes and I have included the comfortable range when laying flat of those measurements

Documented c.1972 Donald Brooks Black Rhinestone Detailed Black Silk Jersey Dress designer-bill-blass kind of wayI love finding Donald Brooks pieces, especially his main line label that he launched in 1964.
