Condition: Good-great; this piece took some time to bring back to life. Inside lining was fitted button down bodice made of mostly twill that had rotted away, so to preserve the garment that entire inner bodice was removed and hand sewn finished. Lining underneath collar shows some fabric deterioration still, and some small mends to collar, and bodice back seams as shown Still wears as it should, just stronger and wearable now. Overall stunning shape for age
