Vest missing one or two decorative buttons from back. Chemise in generally very good condition. A note regarding condition: All of the costumes & textiles that I sell are vintage & have typically seen decades of use resulting in expected wear & tear that add to the history & authenticity of each piece. in case of above-average wear, I will mention any significant damages & heavy signs of use. Depending on the age, materials, & condition, I often hand-wash more durable, colorfast cotton & linen textiles, but embellished garments, heavier wool pieces or items made from silk or fine fabrics are sold in the original, unwashed condition. Small holes or stains, missing sequins/beads, worn trim, & other marks related to standard wear are common & do not detract from the value of most pieces. Please keep in mind that a vintage textile or garment in very good condition might still show signs of use, storage & age. Not sure about the condition? Need more photos? Sure! Etsy allows up to 10 photos online, but I often have more images available so please send an e-mail request for more. I am located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA) & local shoppers are invited to view or try on items in person before buying.
