Condition:  Such a pretty dress, too bad it has problems. Made of lace over acetate the dress has rose and satin cord decorations on the bodice and skirt. Unfortunatly there are holes in the lace -- so this is a good costume piece. Most of the issues are near the hem, so if you are a good seamstress just shorten it and avoid the problems.

Condition:  This dress is in tip top shape, but it is missing something. Can you guess? Yup, it's just the acetate bodice and chiffon skirt, the top is missing. So I say choose yer own or wear your favorite beaded shell with this dress. (Psst, check out our tops department to find something to go with this). No problems with this dress -- no holes or pulls on the chiffon, don't let this hot number pass you by!!!

Small hole in the back of the dress under the right arm hole, about the size of a pencil eraser. Also the velvet trim is frayed in a few spots. Well worth the reduced price because of the flaws.
