Condition
Good with some points to note;
- the bottom button is different. I didn't notice it was different until measuring. Its a really close match and the buttons are so fabulous I don't think I'll ever find any as good so have left it as it is
- there is a repair underneath the bottom button
- no belt - it is shown on the mannequin with a ribbon cinching in the waist
- wear on the sides where I'm guessing belt loops would once have been
- faint mark on the left bodice near the front darts
- some small grazes to the fabric on the bodice and on the left skirt side near buttonholes - please look at the photos
