Please see photos for condition. This costume is excellent for its age but it does show some wear from use. I have tried to show this in the pictures there is some light snags on the satin fabric on the sleeves and back bodice there is also a slight black mark on the lace in the bodice. The bottom ribbon is fully attached with minimal snagging. There are no burst seams or holes. Ideal for collectors of Barbie merchandise.
