Minor evidence of wear. There is a faint purpling along the underarms typical of fabric but nothing obvious when worn. Also of note are some darkened areas around the lower left hem. These didn't show up when photographing though I noticed them under the studio lighting. Dress is otherwise structurally sound and presents beautifully!
