CONDITION
Good condition, construction is a little bit handmade with some possible alterations and a little bit of wear, but still a lovely dress and such a gorgeous print. Priced to reflect.
-It looks this has been altered, neckline may have been widened and some darts have been added to the underbust/high waist. It doesn't really show on the outside but some slightly messy stitching work internally, and some of the waist darts are a little bit uneven, but I don't think this detracts when worn.
-A few faint marks to the skirt, hides fairly well in the print, see photos.
-A couple of small thread pulls in the fabric, again nothing major.
