CONDITION-
This dress is AWESOME, but does have a few minor issues. This dress is EXTREMELY WEARABLE AS IS, but I’m thorough, so here are the flaws:
1. Both shoulders have some loss of chiffon (probably from hangar wear.
2. The left sleeve has puckering from someone steaming it too hot and some stitching where there was probably a tear in the sleeve, but it’s at the underside of the sleeve by the seam and because the sleeve is so full, it’s not massively noticeable.
3. The bust has a few TINY picks.
4. The back has a small dark stain by the back zipper & 2 tiny pin holes in the chiffon by the back right armpit.
5. A small snag in the chiffon T the base of the back zipper (probably where the zipper caught).
6. A small 3/4 inch seam pop at the front left waist.
7. A tiny pin hole in the chiffon towards the front hem.
I’d STILL rate this a 7 out of 10.
*ALL SALES FINAL. Ask questions prior to purchase and compare the measurements to a similar item that fits you well.
