Condition

Good, with several minor flaws to note.  There are tiny holes or wear spots throughout, notably at the front waistband (see image), the shoulder (see image) and the cuff of one sleeve (see image).

There are 2 faint faded spots, one near the front underarm, one on the back (see images).  The white insert at the neckline did not come fully clean after soaking (has some dinginess up close).  There are some wonky threads at the back waistband (see image).  Presents well!  Best worn with a slip.
