hot Where to start ? The fabric and color are just wonderful, but there has been extensive reworking done. and some large repairs. This has been attached to a sturdy black rayon slip for stability, and the ruching at the front shoulder/bodice area was probably done to repair damages. Gently wearable, no obvious holes...but again, many mends. (beacuse of the shimmery nature of this fabric, most of the mends are very hard to see). Plenty of gorgeous, sturdy fabric to work with, perhaps shorten it. Great keyhole back, one covered button; this is a slip on, no closures, so keep that in mind when considering the measurements. I would say this is gently wearable, to err on the side of caution. The brown has an almost eggplant, purple hue to it, just lovely. The charming little bird dress clip will be included.
