Minor evidence of wear most notably to the black flocked spots which have worn down after dry cleaning. The white painted spots are in tact but a few have cracked in and around the underarm. There have also been several repairs made reinforcing splits in the fabric under the arms as a result of dress having been stored without cleaning. Dress is otherwise clean, structurally sound and presents beautifully! Feel free to contact me with any questions or for additional photos.
