Condition: good- sold AS-IS. Overall, this dress is in lovely condition. There are some minor defects like the slight browning on buttons (as shown in picture), and fabric under zipper has been mended (barely noticeable). The last two pictures show an uneven hem in the back, a panel in the back of the dress has lost some embroidery, and there are tiny holes in the chiffon near the hem. The most major hole, which is hard to notice, is under the waist seam and that is the hole shown in the last picture. Price reflects these deficiencies.
