♛Condition

As-is but still hauntingly pretty. I hand-washed this one recently in a silk wash, and it did fine. 80+ years old and priced to help find it a loving home!

To note: the exterior silk is in pretty good shape for its age. A few tiny seam openings as shown. Some small faint spots on the ruffles (see photos). 2-3 pinholes.

It's the lining that is suffering. It has numerous horizontal pulls and runs in its weave and is pulling away and/or sagging at its seams. I've had this dress for almost two decades and have been able to display it and get it on/off dress forms without incident. It could be worn GENTLY (e.g. for photo ops, since it photographs magnificently). Also great for restoration/re-lining, study, or display.

See photos -- I included both inside and outside views of this dress.
