Some evidence of wear, most notably to the belt and buckle. The only issue are a handful of pin head size spots on the bodice located near the waist and a couple more below the waist as pictured. There is also a spot on the ascot tie. I have hand cleaned this dress and lightened the spotting considerably but was hesitant to continue with more aggressive treatment lest it also lighten the fabric around the spots. Over all the dress presents well and the spotting is minor enough to not detract in my opinion. Dress has been priced accordingly.
