<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 4478662, member: 5398"]Thank you, Debora. The shape was perfectly straight all the way to the bottom with 12" side slits at the hem. The overall length was 54.5", but the bottom was damaged, so I've ripped out the waist seam and cut off the damaged section and will re-attach it. I can make it as long as 48", but I think that length might look kind of odd, so may make it into a mini dress, which will be less expensive to ship and maybe more appealing to likely buyers, but I'm open to suggestions on the length. EDIT: I should have mentioned there was zig-zag stitching on the seam allowances around the waist, so I'm thinking it was home-sewn in the U.S.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
