CONDITION: Good vintage condition.
There appears be bleeding/washout of the dye in places, but this gets lost in the busy pattern and iridescence. There are a couple of darkened marks on the lining that don't show on the outside. I noticed a snag in the chiffon below the waist, and a tiny hole, faded wrinkle, and couple of runs at the bottom of the skirt. See last two photos. The stitching holding one side of the bow has come detached, but this doesn’t affect the look. Dress is clean and ready to wear.
