Two sets of dress shirts for WAVES uniform, both stained and worn. First shirt wear: popped arm pit seam on right hand side, arm pit stains, discoloration staining throughout, missing button on left hand side, popped seam on left hand side. Inside of first shirt has blank name tag, old size 16 tag, missing top button. Second shirt is severely stained with what we are thinking is decades old blood staining that have left the shirt a rust color staining throughout. There is no way to authenticate this but Helen Overly, whose name is stitched into the shirt, was a medic who worked in a hospital, so this isn‘t far fetched. Could be while she was helping a patient. We have no way of knowing, but the rest of her clothes and wardrobe are very pristine which leads to this conclusion (Feel free to message us if you believe it‘s something different). The shirt with the stains has a hole in left hand side, some staining on the back as well. Measurements for first shirt no blood: 42" Bust, 36"/37" Waist. Second shirt: 42" Bust, 38" Waist. Best fit size Medium/maybe large.
