CONDITION
Good condition with some slight wear and alterations:
-Some small scuffs and small thread pulls to the satin waistband, see photos.
-The shoulder straps have been sewn in by hand internally. There is a little bit of excess so could maybe be lengthened slightly if needed.
-Two small darns in the lace, one under the arm, and one on the hip of the skirt.
-The dress has been taken out to the side seams by adding panels, and also I think by the zip.
Still presents nicely.
