Stunning Victorian-style ball gown from the 1970s-80s! Reminds me of Ariel's princess dress in the the Little Mermaid.

There are a few pin-sized holes, mostly on the bottom skirt ruffles but one on the back bodice ruffle, all which get lost in the fullness. The back skirt lining is torn in a couple of places, but this is hidden by the ruffles. There are also a few mild discolorations on the bottom ruffles. See last photo. Garment has been dry cleaned and is ready to wear.
