There is a series of snags on the front left hip of the skirt as seen in the last image. This has been reinforced from the inside with a ribbon patch to prevent further wear. There is also a single, small pull on the right hip. Gown has been freshly cleaned and is otherwise ready to wear with no additional issues of note.
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
