MEASURES TO FIT US MODERN LADIES WOMENS SIZE 4 OR 8 MAY BE 8. WAIST 26 HIPS 34 BUST 34 LENGTH 56. NICE DRESS! From Me: I love these summer dresses.

The bodice is very interesting on it due to the placement of the collar. It gives the dress a large "u" shaped neckline that is then filled with lace. My guess is this is a late 1900's early teens piece.
