Condition
Condition:Overall condition of the dress is good with some green sequin loss at the right side bodice and black sequin loss on the shoulder straps. The center back was taken in with loose stitches in black thread (which appear to be easily removed to bring the dress back to its intended pattern). There are some loose stitches near the center back zip. The vest is in very good condition.
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.
