There are some condition issues. Two small holes on the bodice neckline. Probably originally there were some type of embellishment attached there. The skirt has some darker staining on the front near the hem and another one on the left upper bodice. I gave them the damp cloth treatment but nothing further. The underarm seams needs to be reinforced. I have photographed all these areas closely. My pricing reflects these areas of damage.
