Near-great vintage shape. Gently cleaned and freshened. 70+ years old.

Normal subtle signs of previous use and age as found in nearly every velvet/velveteen piece from this era. A single small, faint spot located completely tucked into a fold of the full skirt and a couple faint speckles up at rear shoulder...these minor things are not noticed during wear, she's magnificent.
