Shoulder pads. Nice bridal piece for wedding attendance.

Pre owned, shows general wear.. From the estate of a physician's wife 

whose closet was full of impeccably kept pieces. Had dry cleaning tags stapled

 to the maker tag but I removed them for photos. 

Has not been recently cleaned. I don’t see any holes or seam issues. 

This was dry cleaned and closet stored .

We see a slight “pinkish “ cast to the color around the hem.

See last photo. May be an effect of dry cleaning fluid.

 Not particularly noticeable, but it could be hemmed up.
