C O N D I T I O N
Excellent vintage condition
No visible signs of wear - No holes, tears, stains or fade
No breaks in the lace that I can find.
String attached inside collar is not visible when worn - Can be removed
Some of the velvet along the shoulders will need a
lift from hanging flat for so many years
