It would need to be professionally cleaned to be worn. This dress is returning to the website. Even though I clearly stated when this dress was origianlly listed that it needed professional restoration, someone bought it, thinking that they could do it themselves. They were wrong and complained when they receieved it. So here we are again, and please let me make it clear, that even though I say that this dress is in good condition, it needs to be professionally repaired if you want to wear it. This is an ivory rayon tulle gown. The pretty bodice is all pleats, front and back with sweetheart neckline. The sleeves are pleated too. White satin strappy underdress with metal side zipper. Full tulle skirt. Condition - Fair to Good condition. It will need to be professionally repaired for it to possibly be worn and I don't know if the back can even be repaired. There are holes in the upper back of the dress, some have been repaired and they are coming out again and new holes are starting. Holes are up to 1 inch in size and they are right in the center of the back. The hem of the tulle layers is rough and uneven. The front center seam on the bodice needs to be resewn. There is a big chunk torn out of the bottom edge of tulle. Dress is allover aged, the ivory tulle was probably originally white. The white satin underdress feels very sound. It has a light 3 inch stain on the back. Dressy Dresses - Page 1 Vintage items are not returnable Please be sure of your purchase.
