Condition Report
Condition:
The ensemble is in overall good condition. The dress is stable, but the hem of the dress and the cape show signs of getting wet, which has resulted in discoloration and weak fabric. There is also discoloration under each arm.
The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use. As everything is sold 'as is', we suggest that you request a more detailed condition report and additional photo. This can be obtained via the INQUIRE button or by email at couturecr@lesliehindman.com. Condition is a matter of opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact.
