Condition:
Very good condition. Although the dress has flaws, generally speaking it's in very good condition and wearable due to sheer reinforcement repairs which do not show when wearing. Wear, which is reinforced, at facing under bodice at left shoulder. Shows some light age discolor & slight soil in areas throughout. Shows a few tiny breaks in lace. Minor alterations at interior, do not show when wearing. Sheer fabric reinforcements at lower sleeves and in areas here and there which do not show when wearing. A few water marks & soil at hem edges. Small fray hole at side seam, small professional looking under-patch at sleeve flounce and vertical fabric flaw within bodice pleats. Generally speaking we judge the condition issues of gown of this period to be modest.
