CONDITION:
Very good vintage condition. The are a few small discolored spots on the inside shoulders (most likely from improper storage). There are a few small scattered holes on the back left of the dress. The belt buckle has some marks and frays. There's some visible threads on the center seam of the bodice (seam is secure), and a black pulled thread on the front of the skirt. The crinoline skirt is ripped in the front and looks to be held by a small safety pin. Please see photos Regardless of these issues, the garment presents beautifully, and has been priced accordingly.

This garment has only been steamed cleaned.
