BUT there are markings throughout the red satin that would not come out with professional cleaning. She photographs well from afar, but up close you can see the marks all over - many of them look almost like color-fade or water marks, but there are also a few spots too. Some discoloration too to the underarms. These were all difficult to show on camera, because on the red they just look like shadows on images. There is also some general overall wear and some loose threads. The lining is worn too and in the skirt lining has been cut shorter near the hem. The tag is slightly detached in the shawl. A few of the rhinestones are cloudy. Shawls looks like its had additional snaps closures installed. The dress did come with the original tags BUT I don’t think its dead stock given all the issues present. I will still send the tag along with the dress though.
