Condition
This dress is in excellent condition for its age. No major flaws that I can see, other than the straps may have been altered at some stage as there is hand stitching inside the dress at the base of the straps. Does not show on the outside though.
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 above and beyond this will be highlighted here.
Comment
Beautiful sundress with brilliant green embroidery.
