♛Condition

Great vintage shape.

Note: I feel like this is supposed to have one more (hidden) stitch to one of the cuffs. See how one seems more "opened up" than the other?

However, there's no trace of a stitch having ever been there, that I can see. Just know that you can either add (or subtract) one stitch to get these cuffs to pleat exactly how you want 'em, or you can just rock the dress as it is right now.
