Dress displays minor evidence of wear and repair. On the exterior you can see where the black piped trim has shifted to a subtle green hue and there is a faint echo of color bleed on the exterior of the underarms. This color bleed was a result of my efforts to remove the thick iron on patches and residual adhesive that had been used inside the underarms as a means of repair. Once these patches where removed I then was able to properly repair the underarm seams and a small tear on one side. Some of the adhesive is still faintly visible inside the dress but does not detract in any way. There are also tiny repairs along side each button where it looks as though the buttons may have been moved leaving a hole next to each one. these holes did not go all the way through and I reinforced each by hand. We're talking pin head size and not at all visible when buttoned. Dress is otherwise structurally sound and presents beautifully!
