CONDITION
Very good condition. The neck bow has been handsewn on so could be removed if desired. Hem has been taken up but I don't think it has been cut, feels like a generous amount under the fold. A couple of small faint smudges on the skirt, see photos. Slight discolouration to belt, pretty minor, and a faint line on the bodice waistband, probably from the belt, see photos. All pretty minor, presents beautifully when worn.
