condition**

Delightfully wearable shape, with no obtrusive flaws. Any small faults do not retract from wearability and will be fully-disclosed. Noted minor issue: all rhinestones and metal beads are intact, but paint has worn off the diamond-cut beads -- they look metallic (original color was goldish-red.) Touch up the beads with paint/polish or leave them silvery.

** 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.
