Condition
Good with some minor points to note;
- has been stored for a number of years and has mild storage odour, this will air in time, it does NOT smell of mothballs
- the skirt side seam beside zip has been re-sewn
- a pinhead hole on the front skirt when held up to the light
- a 1cm darn on the front skirt near the hem
- a self mark on the skirt - this only shows in some lights but it is there - might dry clean
- has had a new lining added to the skirt and it has been a little crudely done as has the waist re-sewing when they added it
