CONDITION
Very good condition. Slight wear to the buttons, nothing noticeable. Hem is handsewn so I think this may have been rehemmed at some point, possibly to use the fabric to make the belt as this is handmade. Tiny bit of strain to the bottom of the placket hidden behind the skirt folds. Nothing noticeable when worn however.
Belt is handmade and has a single punched unfinished hole.
