Presents wonderfully during use. Nitpicks: hints of fade along shoulder tops. A pinhead-sized scrape/scuff on a sleeve. On the inner curve of the collar (the part that rests against the backside of your neck) a few beads have gone astray. One of the rear seams at waist shows minor pulling. The designer label is missing some stitches. ••••• Our pieces are true vintage with a history and a past life. Small signs of wear and use are normal and expected in pre-owned treasures.
