Condition
Excellent vintage condition.
No notable flaws that I can see, apart from one missing button on a sleeve - I am sure a button can be found with the right hue or some fabric taken from the dress to make an exact replica. We can arrange for our seamstress to do this if you prefer this option. Apart from that is in fabulous condition for its age.
Please note that these are vintage items that have been used and loved over the years, As such, they may display slight evidence of their age. Any notable flaws will be highlighted here.
Comment
