Condition
This piece has been very much loved and has a LOT of issues so please read the below carefully to make sure you're happy with the condition.
- the right sleeve opening has three large patches. They have been done well with the fabric matching the stripes but the underarm one is more visible
- the left sleeve opening has a number of darns under the arm
- there are some darns on the sides
- there are a few small marks
- a few pinhead holes
- the front of the skirt has a mark, looks like something was spilt on it. I've treated it with Vanish, twice, but it didn't come out in the wash
Even with all the issues it is a stunning piece!
