♛Condition

Very good vintage shape, presents well. Cleaned and crisp. 70+ years old.

This has a tiny mend below rear neckline, one at lower side skirt/hem, and some light signs of wear under the arms that isn't seen during use. A tiny pinhole or two only picked up only when held against a window.

Since taking photos, I have also set aside vintage rhinestones from my stash to replace those that you can see are missing from the buttons, so she arrives for you with those buttons sparkling and ready to rock.

Certainly not "perfect," but presents like excellent when worn!
