As-is antique condition. Would be best for repair, study, or display. There are scattered small holes in the skirt. Some wearing away of the threads at shoulders, but is lined in an extra layer of silk which makes it more sturdy and wearable. Wearing away of threads under arms and the threads on a few of the buttons. Some staining on side bottom of skirt. A couple of holes near the neckline, which can be covered if you move the hooks and eyes over. Missing a single button.
