Condition: Structurally excellent vintage. Upon close inspection and in bright light, you can see 1) ombre type discoloration from years of storage, on front skirt and 2) both pits' dye 'bleached' from previous owner's wear. These shouldn't impair wearability because of the shimmering quality and it being a slip. Freshly cleaned. See pic. Sold as is.
