Dress displays both evidence of wash and wear. There is fading along the shoulder tops presenting as a lighter violet hue compared to gowns primary hue. There is also darker purple shade under the arms. Both color differences are gradual and do not greatly detract. There is also sheen to the fabric at two points on the bodice where the top layer is stitched down. These appear as lighter spots in the photos. Finally there are a few scattered darker spots on the skirt front as pointed out in the photos. Overall dress is structurally sound and wearable but is sold as-is with the above noted condition in mind. Please reach out with any questions.
