CONDITION: Overall Excellent; the velvet does have some marks as velvet gets over years of storing.At the stress pointswhere the pleats are right in front, the corners are starting pull away, but if youre wearing black underneath it wont show. I did have it cleaned and the marks are still evident, but they dont affect the dress whatsoever, unless youre a perfectionist.
