Condition 

This is a beautiful dress with so many fetching design features. Love the asymmetrical detailing and the silhouette which is so reminiscent of a Hollywood film costume. It's in excellent condition too for its age, with only a couple of very minor flaws. There is a tiny hole on the back of one sleeve just above the elbow, and a couple of pin dot spots, hardly wort mentioning, and someone has used black thread to sew a seam and the top stitch is just visible but again only mentioned for accuracy. For a dress that is over 80 years of age, it is in wonderful condition. Please drop us a line if you require additional information about this listing.
