Fiber/Care: no tags, acetate / probably washable, but dry-cleaning recommended
Condition: Presents beautifully, but priced to take flaws into consideration. Close inspection reveals multiple foxing spots, mostly at the lower part of the skirt, plus a more obvious spot at the upper back of the skirt. Underarms have minor discoloration on the exterior that shouldn't show under typical conditions. Flaws are less obvious in standard lighting than under the photography lights, and may become even more subtle with targeted cleaning. It's a beautiful dress.
