Delightfully wearable shape, with no obtrusive flaws. Any small faults do not retract from wearability and will be fully-disclosed. Noted minor issues: several almost-invisible scratches to the silk. One small (skittle-sized) pale stain to the front - not very noticable.

Regarding the pics:
They were taken in bright sunlight and colors are not true. The fabric is a classic bright-red-lipstick red. The floral design is woven in silver and ruby-toned silk threads. The dress is too large for my mannequin and therefore hangs a bit awkwardly.

** Vintage items are precious, pre-owned pieces of history. Many have unique dyes and handcrafted prints, artisan weaves and intricate hand-tailoring -- details no longer available except in modern couture. Please love & respect your vintage.
