Condition: Good/Very Good. Please note that this came to me soiled and the regular dry cleaning didn’t do the trick. I had to soak the dress, so on the inside of the bodice, there is some color bleed, as well as under the sequins and beading on the bodice where it does not detract. Also on the inside, there is residue from a tag or sticker. You can see incredibly faint color bleed and a few watermarks, just below the bodice in the front. Please see the photos. Freshly Dry cleaned and soaked and arrives ready to wear.
Measurements: The measurements below are the actual measurements of the garment. Please allow for ease. Whenever possible the best way to ensure a good fit is by comparing the measurements to that of a similar garment in your closet.
