♛Condition

Good vintage condition. Sold and priced as-is. Cleaned and fresh. 70-80+ years old.

To note: first off -- she presents and wears wonderfully!

But has typical minor cosmetic imperfections that, if you are familiar with rayon jersey, you know to expect. I found a few very subtle discolorations within the print, ghost needle marks at rear waist from previous seams, slight pulling at seams in a few places, a small hole hidden in the print where a sleeve attaches to shoulder area, more ghost needle marks on cuffs from, I think, original darting that was opened to make the sleeves fit more of us

Please look over the photos and close-ups. 10/10 would wear if it fit!
