In very good condition. No rips or tears. It does need the zipper repaired or a new zipper. The dress has not been professionally cleaned, and there are a few spots on it, and slight yellowing on the inside chest area (see photos). Non-smoking home kept in a dress bag. It was bought from JC Penney bridal salon in 1989. Marked size 12 but altered to size 6. I wore it at the shoulder, but it could be worn off shoulder. Train does not bustle, but it does have a wrist loop for gathering it up. Please email me any questions.
