Please review all photos carefully.
HEM & SEAM DAMAGE: There is a section of seam separation along the lower tiered skirt/hem area where the fabric appears to have been stepped on, causing the stitching to pull apart. There is also a distinct snagged/pulled look in the fabric immediately surrounding the stitched lines in this area.
UNDERARM DAMAGE: The right underarm
seam is torn and frayed along the satin/voile panel boundary and requires restitching/repair.
STAINING: There are scattered dark/brown liquid or storage stains on the outer pink voile fabric, mostly near the mid-skirt tiers.
The interior white lining has substantial widespread storage yellowing and brown staining, particularly along the bottom area.
GENERAL WEAR: Minor pulling at the waist seams and typical age-related softening of the lace trim.
