♛Condition

Great vintage shape with light signs of wear/use. 70+ years old.

When held against a window's light, I found 2 tiny pinholes hidden/concealed behind the necktie and two wee holes right above a waist dart. The imperfections are not noticed during normal wear/use and dress still feels sturdy.
