Beautiful condition

Her original slip is missing - easy to replace

Found one very faint and small tea colored spot on front bodice

Faint underarm discoloration

The flower will need a cleaning or replacing - one petal has discolored.
It looks to me like it can be saved.

Clean and steamed but should be taken to a professional for a cleaning / pressing before the big day

might be possible to lighten underarms with a professional cleaning method

I can't find any breaks in the lace

completely wearable (with care, of course) - was stored wonderfully!

All measurements are taken on one side with garment flat,

seam to seam and doubled



For a great fit, Please compare with a similar garment

that fits you well
