CONDITION
In very good clean sound condition, has not been laundered, with no rips, few small stains oxidation spots scattered about, especially in front, and the material is strong. Could use a soaking to refresh. I am positive these spots will disappear with its first soaking. Condition is very good considering its age with only a few minor breaks in the lace, few small repairs, some stray hairs around the neck line. Very little age discoloration, please check all photos.
