It is in nice vintage condition. Note: There are two areas of brown “age” stains on the lining. One is one the lining of the bodice and the other is on the lining of the skirt. Please see last two pictures. (Look closely as they are hard to see.) Also, I noticed a small opening at the zipper base.
It is perfect for garden parties, vintage-themed weddings, cottagecore styling, or photo shoots. This timeless prairie-style gown captures the charm and femininity of a bygone era.
