Condition
Condition:THE FIRSTThe overall condition is very good structurally however there is some fading of the blue printed areas as well as multiple orange spots throughout the dress. There is light wear noticeable at the hemline. THE SECONDThe overall condition is good structurally. The front beaded bodice panel has a loose thread at center front, the back beaded strips along the skirt have some darkened spots as well as the inner bodice under each arm. The green gathered sash at waist has come loose in the back due to a puled tack. The inner petticoat is extensively repaired, has many yellowing spots on the front and back, and has an split in the front lower hip area. THE THIRDThe overall condition is good structurally though there is some yellowing along the neckline, down each of the sleeves, and top of the skirt. There is a rust spot from the closure located along the center of the scalloped edge closure, a small hole in the back left skirt near waist, and several dark thread tacks around the waistline. The belt has a large spot of discoloration on one end and the rhinestone buckle is starting to become cloudy. Everything is sold 'As Is'.
