Condition
This dress is in excellent condition for its age. No notable flaws that I can see, apart a small dye run on the front right hand side of dress near hem. Depicted in the last photograph. Because of its small size, and the dress pattern, it's not particularly noticeable, as can be seen in the last photograph. I suspect that the straps have been worked on at some stage due to the inside stitching. All in all a spectacular and beautiful dress. Cleaned and ready to wear. Please drop us a line if your require additional information about this listing.
