There's a tiny tear in the sleeve under one arm, which is mostly hidden when worn. I noticed a brown pin-sized dot on the bodice and faint stain on the lower back hem of the skirt. There's a number of gaps in the hem stitching of the skirt lining, and yellowing of the bodice lining, neither which show on the outside. See last three photos. Garment has been washed and is ready to wear.
