♛Condition

Very good vintage condition with minor cosmetic imperfections. Cleaned. 70+ years old.

Noted: the organdy has some store faint dye drift under sleeves -- see photo. This isn't noticed at a glance, but it's a thing.

The point of the v neckline has signs of wear, as does the point of the front skirt slit. A short area of seam just above the slit looks like it was close at some point.

The zipper was replaced professionally at some point.
