♛Condition

Very good vintage shape. Cleaned and freshened. 65+ years old.

There's a small patched mend under an arm done by a former owner, integrated into the black background of the print and found when scrutinizing more closely. See close-up photo. When it's worn, the imperfection should be difficult to see due to its location under your arm.

Maybe some traces of age creaminess in the white background...this is something my camera picked up, not really apparent live and in person. Still very much a knock-out 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.
