CONDITION
Dress is in very good condition. There is a very very slight crease line 2" up from the current hem, where it looks like this has been hemmed previously, barely visible. There is also one slight smudge on the side of the skirt.
Bolero has one small repair, pretty discreet by the underarm gusset. It also has a very slight bit more fade to the floral print across the back, nothing to obvious.
