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)
