Condition: Excellent for being 125 years old! There is loss to some of the sequin trim, a few tiny worn spots, and a light “antique clothing” smell. This dress is extremely sturdy and has tons of life in it still. It is a perfect display/ collectors piece, but also very wearable- if C.1895 fashion is your thing.
