CONDITION
Very good condition.
-I think this has been taken up slightly, but it feels like the original hem is still there under the fold.
-Inside seams are not overlocked so shows some light wear/fraying though this does not effect the wear. The lower bodice over the dropped waist is lined with interfacing fabric which has torn along the seam in one place but is otherwise in very good condition. None of this is visible or effect the wearability/fit when worn. Presents beautifully.
