Vintage 1950s blue striped zip front knit shirt sleeveless size small extra small

Description

This is a vintage striped sleeveless cotton knit t-shirt. It has a metal zipper up the front. The label reads Billie Knitwear size medium, however this is a very small shirt. It may have been worn, but it is in excellent condition with no stains, discolorations, or holes. The shirt has ribbed knit around the armholes and v-neck trim. I purchased this shirt with other items from the mid 1950s that had been in storage for years. This shirt can be worn as a vest over a sleeveless cami or worn zipped up. It is being modeled on my size 5-6 mannequin, and as you can see it is quite snug. I do not have the shirt pinned or clipped anywhere.

Measurements:

Length - 21"
Back between shoulders - 14"
Bust 30" - 32"
Waist - 24" - 25"
Hips - 28"

This is t-shirt knit cotton fabric and there is some give and stretch. I believe the hem has a stretch elastic narrow cord, so it will expand several inches at the hips. There is no fabric content label, but the knit feels like it may even have a bit of spandex.
