Very good vintage condition. Freshly cleaned, ready to wear, and presents beautifully! Some minor dark color bleed along the ruching at front center of bottoms; this is likely from black inner elastic; not noticeable at first as it's among the gathered fabric/shadows. There used to be a couple waist darts in back of bottoms, but they had been taken out and are only noticeable upon very close inspection. A couple suuuper faint tiny spots on back of bottoms, which is only noticeable upon very close inspection. Very minor color fade on back straps of bikini top, which won't be seen when tied.
