♛Condition

Very good vintage shape with subtle imperfections. Clean and sturdy. 40-50+ years old. 

To note: there are two small splash type marks at the hem at side skirt -- look similar to water spots. The smocking is slightly softer than when it was new, but it works fine once it's on and if you are in the proper size range given. The straps seem to have been connected to rear bodice by former owner; they do not have the characteristic metal hooks. Priced with these things in mind -- it's an extra pretty example of a bombshell piece that was popular for decades for good reason.
