Dress is pictured with a petticoat which is not included in the sale.

CONDITION
Good condition with some light signs of wear.
-A couple of tiny pin/pen tip sized holes, see photos, on the hem of the skirt and on the sleeve.
-A few small marks to the skirt, but these hide well in the print. Also some very very faint pink discolouration very localised to the pit area.
-Buttons have been replaced. And going by pictures of this online, I think it may have originally had tie straps to the neck, which have been removed.
-Missing the original belt.
Priced to reflect, still presents utterly beautifully. This is a very rare piece and normally priced at double this price.
