CONDITION
Good condition.
-Missing the original belt.
-The bolero is made in a lighter gauze cotton and has some slight signs of wear, some small scuffs in the cotton, and three small spots of slightly more visible damage, one small darned hole on the shoulder and a very slight hole by one of the darts on the back and one small scuff hole on the collar, all photographed. The side seams have been taken in slightly. Some seam straining to darts.
-Bottom button on the bolero is slightly mismatched. It was missing and I just added the closest match I had, which is ballet pink rather than coral.
-A few tiny pin prick / pen tip sized marks on the bodice of the dress, not invisible, but very small. See photos. Shoulder straps have been shortened at some point and restored back to original length leaving some very slight crease lines.
