Condition: The overall condition is good though there are several strands of beads/sequins that have come loose (small amount of loss maintained with piece). The metal sequins have aged and lost most of the polished finish.  Everything is sold 'As Is'. The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. All other condition issues are stated above. To request additional working condition photos, please email couturecr@hindmanauctions.com with the lot number.
