Condition: Very good vintage with minor wear. Mostly some darker spots on the inside built petticoat with is covered by the dress. There is slight darker spot on the skirt. Not much noticeable, and I tried to show it better on the photos but they are pretty faint to see better. Overall looks very nicely in person. Dress had been gently hand washed and it is ready to wear.
