CONDITION
Good condition with flaws, a little bit as and priced as such.
-Little bit of general wear to the fabric, it's maybe lost a little bit of it's original lustre, and some discreet signs of alterations: Some small pin pricks above waistband where it looks like the waist seam was taken up? Skirt has been altered at some point and taken up and restored back, leaving a faint line from the old hem fold. A few tiny pin holes on the sleeve and some small occasional scuffs.
-An area of faint discolouration to the back of the hem, and a few small bleached spots on lower part of the skirt and also on the side of the bodice. See photos. As the fabric isn't flat brown, but a textured painterly design, it is quite forgiving. Some of this could also be resolved by restoring the old hem.
-A couple of small marks to the lining at the back, can't be seen when worn.
Priced to reflect.
