CONDITION
Good wearable condition but does have some visible wear, but still presents well. Priced to reflect condition.
-There are some small faint marks to the skirt. One greeny paint? smudge to the skirt near the lower part and hem. Some faint streaks in a couple of the skirt pleats. Slight underarm discolouration, but due to the vivid print this doesn't really show when worn. Please see photos.
-Some small scuffs and pin holes to the taffeta. Most of these by the hem, where there are a couple of sections of linear scuff wear/small holes to the fabric. Two small scuff holes on the bust, print hides these quite well.
-One of the straps has been resewn, some tiny signs of the stitches.
