♛Condition

Near-pristine vintage shape other than a small blemish, shows and wears beautifully. 65+ years old.

There's one tiny hole in the wool at the hip as shown. Could be mended, but dress is lined fully so the imperfection basically disappears when worn and does not go through to skin. Priced with this in mind, perfect for those want crisp style and don't need "perfect"!
