CONDITION
Good condition.
-Slight lines in the yellow where the fabric has very slightly differente shades, one across back and one across waist at back, doesn't look like fade lines or damage, more like a dye error to the fabric, but either way nothing that detracts too much when worn.
-Small dark line in the weave on the shoulder and one small scuff on the back of the skirt above the pleat.
-Belt buckle has been replaced I think, though still works well.
