Great shape. 75+ years old.

The dress appears to be deadstock/unworn -- the label and the paper tag in the neck are perfect, and it looks brand new. I did not wash it as I usually do not wash deadstock, but it's from a clean collection and shows no soiling.

Our pieces are true vintage with a history and a past life, not newly made reproductions. Minor signs of previous use and age are normal and expected for all true vintage pieces. Flaws and issues are carefully noted/photographed, and our detailed photos give you a good idea of the look of each garment.
