♛Condition

Beautifully preserved, from a group of deadstock pieces. 45+ years old. Unwashed, unworn, bright and crisp like new. Bra is bright-white and pristine.

Nitpick: the center top back three rows of rear smocking panel seem slightly less stretchy than the rest, due to age rather than use and mentioned for accuracy. It's minimal, so should be okay once it's on a figure of the correct size being worn.
