Condition: This dress is in beautiful vintage condition but is not perfect. Both armpits show signs of discolouration and yellowing to the fabric This dye has slightly bled along either side. There is a small seam mend along the back of the right hand side armhole. I feel the fabric is so beautiful and rare, and the style so effortlessly classic, that these armpit stains do not overly detract the eye. This piece should be purchased by a tree collector who appreciates the design and fabric. We recommend great care when wearing this piece as the silk is over a 100 years old. Please refer to the photographs as these form part of the product description.
