Top Notch! Minor evidence of wash and wear, most evident in the surface cracks to the buttons. The color was difficult to capture correctly, not as washed out as the closeups but also not as vibrant as the full body. Dress has been freshly cleaned, is structurally sound with no other issues of note.
