CONDITION
Good condition. Handmade dress with a little bit of wear and alteration, but still very cute and wearable.
-Slight fade to cotton, slightly more so on bodice than skirt. Some very very slight ghost stitches in the folds of the neckline, where maybe this had the pleats stitched down, and very faintly to the waistband on the side. barely shows when worn.
-Hem looks like it has been altered at some point, finished with a running stitch, but still generous hem underneath. I also thinks the arm holes may have been widened slightly, cuffs are rolled and handsewn. Waistband is slightly misaligned at zip.
-Dress has belt loops but no belt.
