Maker: Fruit of the Loom

Condition: Good. I made a few tiny hand-stitched repairs to the back neck seam. There are hand repairs to the fabric under the last 2 buttons. These are discreet and do not show when worn. The bottom button was missing and has been replaced with a button from the same period. The back panel is faded. I have shown this in a photo comparing it to the unfaded skirt. See photos. Still very cute and very wearable. Arrives clean, sturdy, and ready to wear.
