GREAT VINTAGE CONDITION

no holes
2 small spots under one arm, not at all prevalent

a couple hook and eyes need a stitch or 2, but it's not necessary to wear
it's in really great shape for age, just needs a nice press

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS DRESS.....WILL LOOK AMAZING WITH A LITTLE TLC!! IT'S ALSO A BIT LARGER THAN MANY VINTAGE DRESSES!! Please message me if you have any additional questions.
