♛Condition

Very good vintage shape with some subtle issues, highly wearable. 70+ years old.

Cute mend at rear side skirt right below waistline. A few incredibly ghostly traces of age toning remain after cleaning, nothing that attracts attention when worn (see images).

Two lowermost buttons are gone, not really needed as honestly those tend to get in the way of walking. Buttons themselves have some cracks (kinda typical, with this type of plastic), but still perfectly useful. Priced and sold as-is, a great piece for those who want the style but not the price and who do not require "perfect" in their older pieces.

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. We're happy to answer any questions you might have to help you with online purchasing.
