Condition: Very good vintage condition. In amazing, strong condition for it's age. A few small scattered holes throughout. I think most of the appliques on the dress are actually older than the 1920s, however the appliques at the shoulders were definitely added after the lining was put in. but the bow on one side of the skirt is newer. A lining was added to the dress at a later date, for restoration I would suggest that it be removed. Please view the photos carefully.
