Size: No size label. I wear a modern size 12, and the jacket fits me. The skirt shows signs of having been taken in by a former owner with additional seam allowances along the sides of a few of the gores that would add up to an extra 4" if they were let back out. The waistband has a larger than usual overlap that would garner an extra 2" if it was reset.
