Condition: This dress is good but not perfect vintage condition. The dress was made in the 1950's with older 1930's silk lamé fabric. Colour variation to the lamé fabric between the bodice and the skirt, the skirt appears a slightly lighter shade of blue. There is a dark age mark to the front right hand side of the skirt, this is concealed within the drape but apparent. A few scattered age marks to the skirt, which are well concealed within the lustre of the lamé. These minor details are not overly apparent. Please refer to the photographs, as they form part of the condition report.
