ALFRED SHAHEEN HAWAII
ORIGINAL LABEL TAG WITH
LOGO of god or goddess with six 6 arms

It looks like the paper "size" tag was cut
off. Probably by the original owner.
I assume because it was scratchy and
irritating.
Union Label .
 
It looks like a B to C cup. With the
shirred sides, I'd conservatively 
guesstimate 34"-36" circumference 
measurement.

Waist measures 12" across laid flat,
so 24" waist with a few inches of 
stretch due to the shirring.

 
The seam is slightly ripped approx.
4 inches on the left side where the
shirred bodice and skirt are sewn
together. (Right side in the pictures)

Close-ups of the rip.
Hook and eye closure at top of zipper is
missing the "eye".
