Measurements
Small
- Bust measures 84 cm (33"), but as it is strapless and there is no boning, it would need to be tight, so fits 86 cm (34")
- Waist 66 cm (26")
- Hips free
- Length from the side at the underarm is 106 cm (41.5"), plus a 3 cm (1") ruffle at the top.

Good. There are 4 holes in the lace at the bodice, not noticeable, see photos. Also, a repair to the underskirt at the hem, photo 9, and some small marks near the top of the zipper.
