Fabric: Sheer silk
Condition: Fabulous condition considering her age! Note a couple of things: The right sleeve has several repairs close to the cuff (view photo), fortunately, they are not really noticiable because the cuff itself has seams and pleats. It has a couple of pinholes on the back (view photo). A small line of tiny holes on the front right shoulder (view photo). One tiny repair on the left shoulder, not remarkable.
Sounds like a lot but really, this dress is in fabulous condition, the rest of the dress has no holes or rips at all and the repairs it has are not really noticiable! No other issues!
