Condition: Dress has been steamed and thoroughly examined for any flaws, inside and out. No holes, rips, stains, smells or loose seams. Dress is clean and well cared for. Chiffon has no wear, wonderful condition. On close inspection and not noticeable: there are two very tiny scuffs on the satin, one near the zipper and one on the cummerbund side; a small slight blotch on the right side of the cummerbund; slight shine along the front neckline; a small pull on left lapel where there may have been a pin or corsage; the back zipper seam was adjusted (let out) and the zipper is a little off-center. A gorgeous and dramatic dress!
