Shown modeled on a larger-than-average 11-year-old (fits well) and a dress form (which is too broad in the chest). The blouse also fits our 6' tall adult-size mannequin with bust 32", but is too short on her. This item should work for a slim tween/teen or petite (both short and slim) woman. Compare the blouse's measurements (especially length) to something you own that fits, keeping in mind it should not fit too snugly and does not stretch.

 Our items are not newly manufactured "vintage style" pieces. They are true vintage, at least 30 years old. Please read condition report provided above.
