The original zipper was replaced by a previous owner with a nylon one. The color is a perfect match and since I was unable to find a 40s replacement that matched I have left as is. Also of note is an area on the tiered skirt along the upper right hip where the color appears brighter. Under my studio lights this area is far more noticeable than it is in person. The dress is otherwise structurally sound and presents beautifully! Condition has been taken into account and priced to reflect. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or for additional photos.
