CONDITION
Good condition.
-I think the zipper may have been replaced, but with an original metal zip in white, there is some faint faint signs of old pin pricks from old seams in places around it, but this is nothing that will show much when worn.
-One tiny darned hole on the side of the skirt. See photo.
-The belt is missing the little securing belt loop that holds the strap in place, but you could easily replace this with an elastic band or hook and eye to keep it in place.
