Condition:
Although not perfect, a simply gorgeous thirties vintage gown! Shows small area of light wear at left cord surface and multiple light water marks at front and back skirt. Professional dry cleaning could certainly be an option worth trying. Shows a neat professional repair at sleeve edge, backed in silk on wrong side. If you want perfection, this isn't it... but most vintage aficionados would find the condition absolutely acceptable especially considering elegance of this gown. The fabric is supple and dress totally wearable.
