Amazing condition! Totally wearable, with reasonable care. Some discoloration to the underarms; tiny mend to inside at waist; tiny mend to skirt near left side; minor stain at the back with light wear; some oxidation to hook and eye closures; light soiling to the inside neck, which will most likely resolve with a cleaning.
