♛Condition
Presents wonderfully, has minor known imperfections factored into pricing. 70+ years old.
See photos...this beauty has some tiny and tidily-done scattered darns, a tiny hole at rear underarm that wasn't darned, at least one pinhole found when held to light, and a faint smudge at skirt's side below the buttons/pocket. Imperfections are subtle, and she wears and photographs like a dream.
The designer label also has ink marks on it, not affecting the dress itself, thankfully.
An obvious head-turner that we're unlikely to turn up a second time, priced gently. Great if you don't need "perfect" in your older vintage.
