The halter was modified to have satin straps - they were attached to the back of the dress. I have removed them from the back but left the satin ends.

- Can be put back together.
Someone added darts and extra pleating on the front - I have removed all of the extra stitching but now shows the fade.
Overall fade from washing and wearing.

The front and halter straps look the most faded.
Some spots on the halter + One pinhole by shoulder + Row of small stitching holes down the bodice, along he folds.
