Mint- As perfect and pristine as it was originally.  May have never been worn and tags may still be attached. 

Near Mint- Shows only the slightest bit of wear on an otherwise perfect garment.  This  means it may have only been worn once or twice.   Many of our wedding gowns, cocktail dresses and special items are in this condition. 

Excellent condition means totally sound in structure and appearance.  Any wear is the result of having been worn occasionally, but it’s clear that the garment has been well cared for and stored.  No buttons missing.

Very Good condition means wearable with some minor flaws. The flaws could be stains, torn seams, or a fallen hem, for example.  Buttons may be missing, but ideally there are still some to either match or inspire a replacement. It’s often possible to take a garment you find in this condition and mend, alter, or specially treat stains to turn it into a garment in Excellent condition. Many of my own dresses are in this condition. Overall the garment is good, and any flaw still standing doesn’t prevent you from wearing and enjoying it.  

Good means wearable, but the dress is no longer in pristine condition.  In this case, you normally couldn’t achieve excellent condition even if repairs are made.   That said, often if you love a piece, you will just accept the flaws.  These are often vintage clothes that were simply well loved and thus well worn in their day.  Other times it may be a case where the garment just wasn’t stored very well.

Poor- multiple holes, tears, stains, etc.  Garment is unwearable, but good for study/ pattern.
