♛Condition

Very nice vintage shape and feels sturdy. Deep color, original tags attached.

Nitpicks: this near-antique satin fabric has signs of age and character when scrutinized, even though it's presumably unworn. Nothing that jumps out. Presents to the eye like the photos.

The bowtie sits crookedly, probably from the decades of storage. I fussed with it to get it sit nicely for photos. If I were keeping, I'd add a couple tacking stitches or tiny hidden safety pins to get it to stay put.  

When held against a window's light to illuminate, I saw a couple small, narrow scrapes to the fabric below the rear neck area. 

Cloth belt loops but no belt. A black satin tassel belt would look great, and they are cheap and easy to find.

Minor signs of previous use, character, and age are normal and expected for all pre-owned and vintage pieces. Flaws and issues are carefully noted/photographed, and our detailed photos give you a good idea of the look of each garment.
