The dress is in excellent vintage condition - very wearable.
One tiny hole on the top of the left shoulder is the only issue
I could see with the dress.
The slip has fade, holes in the skirting and will need new snaps at the closure. Some loose seams along the waistline.
Most of these issues don't really show through the dress unless you look for them.
Might have had a belt originally.
Will need a cleaning from years of storage - Steamed only.
