Description: fsdfs


Condition: Good

Gown is strong and wearable. Outer silk chiffon is strong and supple, as is the interior silk lining. Beading is about 95% intact. Missing beading does not detract. Some period securing of beading at the back shoulder in a three-inch by half-inch area. Not well done, but not unduly distracting.

One small hole about half the size of a pencil eraserhead on top of right shoulder. Does not detract. Seven to eight very small holes ranging from half the size of a pencil eraserhead or smaller on the front bodice. Most of these are near the left shoulder or left armhole. Visible upon inspection, but not terribly noticeable. One of these is roughly at the center of the bodice, and, 'tho very small, is moderately noticeable.

Skirt is clean and strong and has no holes.

Overall a very clean-looking and strong gown, and very wearable.
