♛Condition

Very nice vintage shape, minor signs of its age but still a knockout. 65+ years old.

Found a few tiny rust freckles scattered on lower folds of skirting and a small, very faint smudge...these lifted quite a bit with cleaning and treatment, and might go entirely in a second round. At any rate, the imperfections are tiny and subtle; they do not attract attention away from the overall impact and cuteness of the frock!

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.
