Condition Report

Condition:

The overall condition is good with some fraying of the lame around the collar edges and sleeve hems but a few hanging threads exist throughout. There is a small area of loss on the left front collar point where the lame has worn away to underlining. A few popped stitches are present on the front left collar neckline as well as some overall discoloration on the lining due to wear. The stitches at the center front neckline are loose. The right side zipper closure is fully operational though the seam at the base has popped and the top shows signs of loss in the lame. Additionally, there are a few loose stitches holding the left hip bustle to the dress.

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.
