CONDITION
Good condition. Presents well but has some signs of alterations, the hem has been resewn in hand and the side seams of the bodice has some machine stitching that looks like it has been redone at some point, and going by the size on the label, have also been taken in at the waist. Some faint ghost stitching on the side of the skirt, not sure what front, but barely visible in the print.
