Dress displays minor evidence of wear. Bodice and waist were let out to accommodate a slightly larger size. I have left the alteration as found to not create additional stress on the sheer fabric through restoration. I did reinforce a few seams throughout. There is also a visible hand done repair along the gathered yoke from a previous owner that I left in place. Dress is clean with no other issues of note.
