Condition
Structurally good but please note the following;
- some minor wear to the binding
- someone has opened the back skirt seam, assuming to give more hip room, and the raw edge has been hand finished
- main issue is there is some cream paint in the skirt - areas to note are pocket, waist insert and on the left skirt front and side, about 8" up from the hem. Due to the colour it blends in well and is only seen when really looking for it.
