♛Condition

No overt flaws/issues noted, but there are minor imperfections is common in these old kaftans. Cleaned and very wearable. 50+ years old.

To note: subtle signs of wear or pulling to the crochet at the shoulder line, though no holes. It's not blatant and shouldn't be noticed by others when worn. 

There's a cluster of faded pin-dots scattered at one rear hip. The black of the gown is less intense than that of the crochet.

See photos! Not for a perfectionist, but works well for most of us who are into these old kaftans.
