♛Condition

Overall great vintage shape. Sturdy and has great charisma, subtle signs of its age. About 75+ years old.

The front waist was adjusted by hand with tidy interior stitches, perhaps to shorten the bodice to a more typical length? Could certainly be undone/reversed. It doesn't bother me aesthetically and would hide completely under a belt. The lace shows its age with a few tiny imperfections within its mesh you can find with close scrutiny, but presents well to the eye.
