Condition:
She's not great, but not bad enough to be sent to
the graveyard. Some bad staining to the taffeta
which luckily is mostly hidden by the netting. Bad
underarm stains. Small breaks in the netting,
mainly hidden under the front placket. It's from
catching the net with the hooks instead of the
thread loops. Light yellowing in areas of netting.
Waistband of skirt needs reinforced due to rips.
Edgewear along the hemline.
