Good vintage condition. Freshly cleaned and ready to wear! A tiny bit of fabric wear around the neckline, which has been reenforced with blanket stitches in a few places and isn't noticed when worn. One tear on bottom sleeve ruffle and another along the ruffled hem have been repaired and just look like a nice seam now; not noticed when worn. Two small spots on front about waist-level and a handful of suuuper faint, small scattered spots which blend in with the busyness of the print. Several very tiny holes have been re-woven/mended using a traditional mending method and get lost in the busyness of the print. Overall, this dress is absolutely stunning and definitely a holy grail for vintage Hawaiian collectors!
