This antique dress bodice is so lovely just to look at. It has overall shattering. It's just how I received it, and can only suggest displaying it. You can get it to look nice by pinning it in just the right places. It has some really beautiful details that make it worth keeping. The interior is good, I believe the maker says, Macfarland Springfield, Ohio. I will give you some fabric that I was able to save from the skirt that may help with a little restoration for displaying. Flaw pictures start with # 9. I just pinned / laid on the neck embroidery. Please ask me anything! No returns, so please look at the pictures closely. Thanks for looking!
