Presents very well, an area of small holes to one side which actually blend in ok with the print! Inside neck has some discolouration and the odd very faint one dotted around which I’ve tried to photograph- the piece has been freshly soaked however so is clean and ready to wear! Some grey colouring beneath the collar, with just a touch to top collar and odd v pale bit to skirt. None of this super evident when worn!
