Labels: Filcol (designer/manufacturer), The Sara B. Goodman Co. Baltimore (shop)

Fiber/Care: no tags, nylon tulle over rayon or acetate blend lining / dry-clean only

Condition: Really good. Only flaws are color shift to the lining at the lower part of the skirt and typical cracking to the back/interior of the belt (not visible, doesn't affect wear). Could use a cleaning for freshness, but no offensive odors present.
