CONDITION
Very Good Vintage (pre-owned) Condition. Some mild areas of slightly yellow discoloration. Blends with all the intricacies of the lace. Just age, not really stains. A Biz soak or dry clean with take it right out out. I did not wash this piece due to the acetate lining which always seems to shrink a bit. Ever so light armpit yellowing on one side. Steamed for sanitization and ready to wear and enjoy.
CARE
Diligent cold hand wash and air dry recommended.
