CONDITION
Good condition with some light wear and repair.
-Hem looks like it has been altered/taken up as it is handsewn.
-Repair to the straps on the front of the bodice just at the top of the bustline. Some light wear to the straps in general, the odd popped stitch to the strap seam, some slight ghoststiches at th back where they attach to bodice, but nothing too noticeable.
-One small very faint pink streak at the back of the skirt, near hem. Very slight discolouration to lining at underarms. Very slight, has been cleaned and spot treated. Obviously can't be seen when worn.
-Otherwise very good, cotton crisp and bright and unfaded.
