There are twointerior layers to the top. So I gave two measurement options because if you do not hook the front velvet waist sash together it gives more room but the top was meant to be hooked, which would make it incredibly tiny. Please let me know if I need to clarify.

Condition:
AS IS: Please keep in mind this dress set is over 100 years old and was once worn. The silk is shattered at the blouse; on the shoulders, at back neck, and sleeves. A few hook / eyes are missing. The skirt is in good condition with the exception of a portion of bottom hem missing decorative trim. Minor stains to the dress set.
