Condition: Excellent vintage condition. A few tiny unnoticeable broken brides-I went back to photograph it after I took it off the mannequin-but I could not find it. I have not laundered this lovely dress. there may be an occasional scraggly thread or a small faint storage spot. There is no wear or breakdown of the lace fabric, just needs to be carefully cleaned. This has been carefully preserved and wrapped in acid free blue tissue........this is how you will receive it. Dress presents beautifully. The photos just do not capture the true beauty of this piece. This has not been laundered. This is truly an exquisite piece of antique wearable art! I am always happy to answer questions.
