Condition: Very good with a few repairs. There were a few tears/ breaks to the net lace so I hand appliqued lace flowers to cover the damage. 2 larger flowers on the skirt and 1 small flower on the back yoke. There were 3 holes in the lining, one at the center back skirt below the zipper and 2 along the hem. The flower applique on the back of the skirt conceals that repair and the repairs along the hem go unnoticed under the fullness of the skirt. The top button on the on the wearer’s right sleeve cuff is darker than the other buttons. (See photos) Arrives clean and ready to wear.
