♛Condition

Sturdy and presents well, overall. Cleaned and freshened. 60+ years old.

Some minor cosmetic stuff, not noticed unless scrutinizing. Diffuse minor touches of fade, mainly. All of it easily to overlook because of her fabric's sheen and color. At an evening event, I doubt even noticeable.

Sold as-is and priced well for what she is. Look at photos and see what you think!
