Presents excellently, with condition notes not very noticeable when worn; a couple of discoloured spots as pictured, which I was debating stitching sequins over to conceal but decided weren’t really that bad- would be easy to do so if desired. The odd small nibble to chiffon which isn’t too noticeable due to the lining being same colour.
