Condition
~Pretty dress is in very good Vintage NOS, deadstock condition; I find no major flaws, but has some slight deadstock issues- has been hanging at one time and stored for quite a while, has some slight storage "dust" across shoulders from hanging and a couple of very tiny vague marks on front bodice and skirt, almost invisible and also from storage, I think cleaning will remedy any storage issues; original belt gone; a few loose threads here and there also not a concern. ~ A very wearable dress! Any issues listed are for disclosure.

~NOTE ABOUT VINTAGE: The condition of VINTAGE items is a subjective opinion- I point out any major flaws I see, I may not list inside flaws if they are not seen and don't effect the wear-ability of the item, missed minor flaws do not constitute misrepresentation, if they are missed they must be trivial.
Cleaning is usually left up to the new owner - I don't Dry Clean items and only wash them if they really need it and can be washed, so please expect to have your items cleaned or at least steamed, as they will be wrinkled from shipping.
Please-Vintage items will not look new, please expect them to look previously worn and owned, some more worn than others.
The absence of a label in a garment does not necessarily indicate item was homemade, regardless. Vintage labels may have been removed by original owner or the tag's threads age and tag is lost, torn out, etc.
Please read entire ad and double check before bidding if you are not familiar with the issues of Vintage.
