Condition
This dress is in excellent condition for its age.
No notable flaws that I can see, apart from breaks in the Pellon lining. Does not affect the presentation of the dress, as it is all internal. In my opinion, the Pellon lining should be removed, it's very easily done.
Comment
Beautiful dress with a delightful print. The contrasting trim and bows truly lift the dress to another level.
