**Condition Notes:**
This gown is in good pre-owned vintage condition and presents beautifully. It shows typical minor wear consistent with its age. Specifically, there is an area of fabric fraying/snagging on the lower front skirt area (pictured in close-up), along with minor typical wear along the hem edges. Internally, there is a small fabric separation/tear on the inner lining layer near the tulle netting underskirt; this is completely on the interior and is hidden when worn. Priced accordingly and sold as-is. It may need a gentle dry clean and steam to look its absolute best for your special day!
