Very good vintage condition. Ready to wear! One super tiny pinhole on back of skirt above hem, next to the left side seam; not seen when worn at all. The hem had previously been let out and re-hemmed for a longer length, but there is a slight crease present and some faint iron sheen in places; does not distract from how special this piece is! I mean, those hips!
