Condition

GOOD: exterior appearance is good, clean and fresh. Rhinestones, silver and gun-metal coloured small sequins appear to be intact – no obvious losses. Bodice has been slightly adjusted on the front upper edge – two small darts added to prevent gaping. Straps have been moved. Barely visible perspiration marks at underarms, Ivory faille underskirt has been raised by 2.5cm. Centre-back silk petticoat seam needs re-stitching 10cm below the opening. A wide panel of tulle is missing from the 2nd layer of tulle petticoats – but of course this is not immediately noticeable. b. 76cm, 30in, w. 56cm, 22in no 34974
