Very good vintage shape w minor imperfections, priced and sold as-is. Cleaned. 70+ years old.

There's a spot of fade on one neckline pleat, could touch up with fabric pen or leave it be. A little quirk or wobble in the stitching of the waist seam, covered if you use a belt (or can be fixed/ignored). A rare size that doesn't come up much and a great run-around frock!
