Hi ........... I like the snazzy of this.....very much.........

on my monitor it looks like the edges are a little faded....Is that so? or was this made like that to look extra cool? My daughter has an outfit that was faded on purpose so it wouldn't look new.....the intention was to make some sort of statement....like "Down with dye" or "Say no to new". or something..

Also the skirt hem looks like it's one of those 'balloon' hems'. Is that so?

And, last question: can you please tell me the measurement of the blouse under the arms from pit to pit? and the waist of the skirt? Not sure exactly what size anybody is, but I can sneak into the closet and measure something when nobody's looking......or maybe the washing machine would be better.....

Thank you for your time and trouble......I really like this outfit, may keep it for myself...just have to make sure it measures the same or nearly almost sorta close to the shape of this ol' fading flower...

No fading on the outside, and it is actually a dark blue with the design being lighter in color. No item is not new, but like new, and is not down with dye either. And not familiar with a balloon hem, (Hem is not straight across, but kind of rounded) but the skirt does have two small slits on both sides that measure about 6 1/2 inches each side. Believe it is the slits that made it more of a rounder look at the bottom. Under the arms is 22 inches. Waist measures 15 inches across the front. It is nice, only wore twice, and am more of a long skirt person, but on me just above the knee. Thanks again.
