She closes with beautiful front buttons and a side metal zipper. This dress has no label but it is a quality garment and it is defenitely not homemade.

Condition: Fabulous condition! It has one very small repair to the skirt, really imposible to find (view photo). A couple of tiny holes have been repaired under the armpits and on the right sleeve, they were so tiny and due to the busy print couldnt be captured in pictures. No holes, no stains, no rips, no fading. Clean and ready to Swing!
