Condition Report

Condition:

The overall condition is fair with significant discoloration throughout the lining due to wear. There is a fair amount of embellishment loss, most noticeable around the entire neckline, midway down the front skirt, and hemline. The back hemline near slit is starting to come undone. There is a missing snap on the center back satin bow as well as some discoloration due to wear. the center back seam is splitting at top of slit.

The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use.
