Condition Detail
Feels lightly worn, the dress has very mild graying under the arms that's hard to perceive, the skirt hem is not the original length, jacket looks mint to the outside though the buttons might be replacements, and the jacket lining has several tears inside in the underarms from regular wear; note that the Gernreich label has been re-sewn twice in two different thread colors and because of this and the unlikely potential the label was added later, we have not repaired it in case you'd like to inspect it upon arrival (but we would be glad to as a courtesy, just request it in the Comments section when you order)

Washing Instructions
