Condition Report

Condition:

The overall condition is good with some sections of the ruffle at the neckline becoming loose and un-tacked and the neckline facing is loose. Some of the feathers show signs of loss. The center back zipper is missing its pull. The sleeve cuffs are missing a snap closure and the right sleeve placket is torn minimally. The hem line is soiled due to wear and there are several small abrasions throughout the hem line. There is a 1" to 2" hole in the back left skirt.

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.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair.
