Comments

Over all in wonderful vintage shape - there is a small frayed tear measuring approx 1cm, about 4.5" up from the right side hem. A few faint marks on very close inspection. Boning to the bodice has snapped in one place but could be replaced or renewed. All in all, a very rare, stunning red-carpet worthy vintage gown!
