Condition: In great condition for a vintage gown of this era. It has no visible holes, rips, or tears. The only visible structural issue I could find is the gown needs a couple of stitches to the seam in the back beneath the bottom button. Nothing that cannot be easily fixed. The satin is lovely and sturdy. It does have a few tiny scratches that aren't noticeable, small minor spots and light soiled areas. The largest area is on one of the sleeves. It needs a cleaning to freshen as it was in storage for approx 60 years. Please consult you dry cleaning professional for proper cleaning instructions.
Please note that the vintage clothing I sell will not be new from a department store or boutique. It is usually pre-owned or is new old stock that has been in storage. It could have some minor flaws.
I try my best to please my customers and provide them with the best customer service possible. I would appreciate a 5 star rating. If there is a problem with your purchase, please contact me to resolve the situation before leaving feedback. I am human and sometimes I do make mistakes or miss a flaw.
